5-Year Attendance Trends
Overall attendance — school vs national average
Each point is a full academic year (autumn, spring and summer terms). There is no 2019/20 point because DfE did not publish school-level absence for that year. 2020/21 and 2021/22 were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, so read changes to or from those years with care.
