Note 1: A percentage figure of zero means less than 0.5 per cent.
Note 2: Exact values have been used in the calculation of the average number of half-days per pupil, rather than the rounded percentages shown in the tables. This explains any apparent inconsistencies between percentage figures and the average number of half-days absence per pupil.
Note 3: These figures have been scaled. They are expressed as if there were a possible 380 half-days attendance. This means that all schools are comparable.
