New statutory guidance for schools in relation to recording and managing attendance (and absence) came into effect in September last year. We take a look at the use of codes to record absences in attendance registers.
We dig into attendance registers for clues as to how many pupils have part-time tables and flexi-schooling arrangements
The rate at which pupils are obtaining EHC plans has been growing at a faster rate in recent years, particularly among older (secondary-age) pupils
We estimate that an average of 21,000 pupils of compulsory school age are educated off-site each day
We examine the characteristics and absence patterns of pupils with an absence rate of 5% to 15% over the first two terms this year
A report tracking the post-16 pathways taken by pupils who did not achieve grade 4/C in GCSE English and maths into the labour market.
Disadvantaged pupils and those with SEN, particularly secondary-age pupils, are at greater risk of falling below the proposed threshold
We examine the chronologies of suspensions and SEN identification for pupils who experienced repeat suspensions in the 2021/22 academic year
Summer born pupils are more likely to have EHC plans than Autumn born pupils. We look at whether this fact could be used to explore the relationship between EHC plans and exclusions.
