Understanding This Data
Rates are calculated as the percentage of possible sessions missed. Authorised absences are agreed by the school (illness, medical appointments, religious observance). Unauthorised absences are not (term-time holidays, lateness without good cause). Persistent absence threshold is 10%+ of sessions missed. Source: DfE Pupil Absence in Schools statistics.
