2 Month to Month Data for Context The average Attendance across all WDC schools for the month of May is 92.7%, up 3.1 percentage points on the April figure. This is better than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our May Attendance level was 0.8 percentage points lower at 91.9%. The session rolling average Attendance figure (August to end of May) across all WDC schools (that’s the red line on the chart) has increased by 0.2 percentage points to 91.1% since the end of April. This is better than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our session average Attendance level was 1.4 percentage points lower at 89.7%.

4 Month to Month Data for Context Authorised Absence across all WDC schools for the month of May is 3.9%, down 1.3 percentage points on the April figure. This is better than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our May Authorised Absence level was 0.9 percentage points higher at 4.8%. The session rolling average Authorised Absence figure (August to end of May) across all WDC schools (that’s the red line on the chart) has decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 5.3% since the end of April. This is better than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our session average Authorised Absence level was 1 percentage point higher at 6.3%.
Page 5
5 Unauthorised Absence in Primary ranges from 6.1% at Dalreoch Primary School down to 0.9% at St Peter's Primary School. In secondary schools the range is from 6.5% at Vale of Leven Academy down to 4.2% at Dumbarton Academy.
Page 6
6 Month to Month Data for Context Unauthorised Absence across all WDC schools for the month of May is 3.4%, down 1.8 percentage points on the April figure. This is higher than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our May Unauthorised Absence level was 0.1 percentage points lower at 3.3%. The session rolling average Unauthorised Absence figure (August to end of May) across all WDC schools (that’s the red line on the chart) has stayed the same at 3.6% since the end of April. This is better than the position we were in at the same point in time last session when our session average Unauthorised Absence level was 0.4 percentage points higher at 4%.

10 June Focus Area: Use of Codes Attendance Codes --- Present (Charts P51, P65) In the primary sector the Present in Class code ranges from 84.8% at St Martin's Primary School up to 94.3% at St Patrick's Primary School. In secondary schools the range is from 58.7% at St Peter the Apostle High School up to 68.8% at Our Lady and St Patrick's High School. ATF - Adapted Timetable (Flexible Education) (Charts P51, P65) In 21 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 10, it accounts for less than 1% of all possible attendance. In one school (St Martin’s) it is 5.5%, substantially higher than in any other school. In the secondary sector, Dumbarton are using this code substantially more than the other schools. Here the rate is 1.9% of possible attendance, almost double that of the next highest school. FLD - Field Trip (Charts P52, P65) In the primary sector this code has been used by 15 schools. The rate ranges from less than 0.1% of possible attendance at Lennox Primary to 0.4% at Gartocharn Primary. In the secondary sector, only one school has used the code. The rate in Vale of Leven Academy is 0.1% of possible attendance. FLX - Flexible Learning (Chart P65) In the primary sector this code has not been used. The level of this code in secondary schools is 0.1% or less, except in SPTA, where it is 3.6% of possible attendance. LAT - Late (arrives before mid-point) (Charts P52, P66) In 16 primary schools this accounts for less than 2% of all possible attendance. In 10 it is between 2% and 4% and in 6 it is above 4% (Lennox Primary School 4.3%, Linnvale Primary School 4.4%, Whitecrook Primary School 4.8%, St Peter's Primary School 5.0%, Edinbarnet Primary School 5.3% & St Ronan's Primary School 5.3%). In the secondary sector the level of this code ranges from 5% in OLSP to 9.2% in SPTA.
Page 11
11 MIS – Missing (Chart P66) The Missing code occurs as a consequence of amalgamating a group of period by period registration codes into a code to cover a single Opening. This process results in an Opening being coded as Missing if a pupil is Absent in the last period of the Opening but has been marked Present for any earlier period during that Opening. N.B. Missing is an Attendance code, for a pupil to be marked Absent for an Opening, all periods within the Opening must be marked with Absent codes. In the secondary sector it ranges from 1.5% of all possible attendance in OLSP to 4.1% in SPTA. OAT - Other attendance out of school (Charts P53, P66) In 13 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 14, it accounts for less than 0.2% of all possible attendance. In 5 it is above 0.2% (St Patrick's Primary School 0.2%, Gartocharn Primary School 0.2%, St Ronan's Primary School 0.2%, Lennox Primary School 0.3% & St Eunan's Primary School 0.3%). In the secondary sector the level of this code ranges from 1% in CHS to 3% in VoLA. PER - Medical or Dental Appointment (Charts P53, P66) The range of the use of this code in primary schools is fairly evenly spread. The range is from 0.2% at Carleith Primary School up to 0.7% at St Martin's Primary School. In the secondary sector, OLSP and Dumbarton seem to be making substantially more use of this code than the other 3 schools.
Page 12
12 SCH - In school but not in class (Chart P67) This code has not been used in primary schools. In secondary schools, VoLA has used this code substantially more than any other school. There it accounts for 3.5% of all possible attendance, with the range in the other 4 schools being 1.1% to 2.0%. The 2023-24 Local Authority working group on Attendance Coding provided additional guidance on circumstances where this code could be used and these suggestions are provided below to give a bit of context to the use of this code: Pupil is present in school but out of class or undertaking a different activity. For example:- Pupil in HT office, medical room, school library, detention room, etc Pupil undertaking leadership activity or learning activity in support base with other staff or another service So it is possible the VoLA ASN Base accounts for the higher level of usage of this code in that establishment. SEP - Sickness with educational provision (Charts P54, P67) This code has only been used in 4 primary schools with Lennox Primary at 0.4% of possible attendance, being substantially higher than all other primary schools. In the secondary sector the level of this code ranges from less than 0.1% in CHS to 1% in SPTA. STY - Study Leave (Chart P67) The range of the use of this code in secondary schools is fairly evenly spread, except for the school with the highest level of use, VoLA, which, at 8%, is 1 percentage point higher than the next highest school.
Page 13
13 VIS - School Visit (Charts P54, P67) In 10 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 15, it accounts for 0.2% or less of all possible attendance. In 3 schools it is 0.3% or more (St Michael's Primary School 0.3%, St Mary's Primary School - Clydebank 0.3%, Knoxland Primary School 0.3%, Balloch Primary School 0.3%, Dalreoch Primary School 0.4%, Christie Park Primary School 0.4% & St Mary's Primary School - Alexandria 0.5%). In the secondary sector it was used by all schools and the range is from 0.2% at Vale of Leven Academy up to 0.5% at Clydebank High School. WRK - Work Placement (Chart P68) In secondary schools the range is from 0.1% at Clydebank High School up to 0.3% at Vale of Leven Academy.
Page 14
14 Authorised Absence Codes ABS - Other authorised Absence (Charts P56, P69) In 5 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 24, it accounts for less than 1% of all possible attendance. In 3 schools it is over 1% (Linnvale Primary School 1.1%, St Martin's Primary School 1.4% and Our Lady of Loretto Primary School 1.6%). All secondary schools have used the code and it accounts for less than 1% of all possible attendance in all but OLSP, where it accounts for 1.4%, 0.6 percentage points higher than the next highest school. For information, the ScotXed guidance states that the circumstances where this code should be used includes: “Immediate family weddings; Bereavements; Religious observances; Attendance at court; Attendance at child care review; Attendance at children’s hearing; Lack of transport – including due to bad weather; Sporting & cultural events not arranged by the school, but approved by them”. DCA - Exceptional domestic circumstances (auth) (Charts P56, P69) In primary schools, Renton are using this code substantially more than other schools, their rate is twice as high as the next highest school. In secondary schools, the rate is very low, with VoLA and SPTA in particular, barely using it at all. LT2 - Late (arrives after mid-point) (Charts P57, P69) In primary schools, Edinbarnet and St Kessog’s use this code twice as much as the next highest using school. In secondary schools, it has only been used by CHS, SPTA and SPTA and in all three, the rate is extremely low. MED - Medically Certified (Charts P57, P69) The use of this code is negligible in schools. NIM - Notifiable illness (medically certified) (Chart P58) This code has only been used by Christie Park Primary School for 6 openings.
Page 15
15 NIS - Notifiable illness (self certified) (Chart P58) This code has only been used by Gavinburn Primary School for 10 openings. PHL - Authorised Parental Holiday (Charts P59, P70) In primary schools, the highest users of this code are Christie Park and Renton, with the level at Renton being just over 0.2% of possible attendance. In secondary schools, the use of this code is negligible. PTH - Part Time Timetable (health related) (Charts P59, P70) In primary schools, St Eunan’s use this code around twice as much as the next highest using school. In secondary schools, the use of this code is negligible. PTX - Part Time Timetable (exclusion related) (Charts P60, P70) In the primary sector, this has been used by 4 schools. In the secondary sector, this has been used by 2 schools. It’s level of use is miniscule. SEL - Self Certified (Charts P60, P70) As one would expect, Self Certified Sickness Absence accounts for the largest portion of pupil absence across WDC. In primary, it ranges from 2.8% of all possible attendance in both Knoxland and St Stephen’s to 7.5% in St Michael’s. The range of the use of this code in primary schools rises in fairly even increments, except for the two highest using schools. Levenvale is 1.2 percentage points higher than the next highest using school and St Michael’s is another full percentage point higher again. In secondary the rate rises evenly from 4.4% in SPTA to 5.6% in Dumbarton.
Page 16
16 Unauthorised Absence Codes DCU - Exceptional domestic circumstances (unauth) (Charts P61, P71) In 11 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 18, it accounts for around 0.1% or less of all possible attendance. In 3 schools it is substantially higher, at around 0.2-0.25% (Kilbowie, Lennox & Clydemuir). In the secondary sector, it has been used by 4 schools, but the level of use is negligible. OUA - Other unauthorised absence (Charts P61, P71) In 14 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 16, it accounts for less than 1% of all possible attendance. In 2 schools it is 1.5% or more (Clydemuir 1.5%, St Kessog’s 1.6%). In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools, but the level of use is negligible. RFS - Refusal to attend (Charts P62, P71) In 16 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 15, it accounts for less than 1% of all possible attendance. In one school (Carleith) it is 2.8%, substantially higher than in any other school. In the secondary sector, OLSP are using this code substantially more than the other schools. TBC - To be Confirmed (Charts P62, P71) In 15 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 16, it accounts for less than 1% or less of all possible attendance. In one school (Dalreoch), it is 3.4%, substantially higher than in any other primary school. In the secondary sector, VoLA are using this code substantially more than the other schools. In this school it accounts for 5% of possible attendance.
Page 17
17 UNA - Truancy or Unexplained Absence (Charts P63, P72) In 10 primary schools, this code has not been used at all. In 14, it accounts for around 1.0% or less of all possible attendance. In 8 schools it is over 1% (Levenvale Primary School 1.1%, St Mary's Primary School - Alexandria 1.1%, St Ronan's Primary School 1.4%, Lennox Primary School 1.4%, Dalreoch Primary School 1.6%, St Eunan's Primary School 1.8%, Whitecrook Primary School 1.9% & Renton Primary School 2.0%). In the secondary sector, CHS & SPTA are using this code substantially more than the other schools, the rate here being between 4-4.5% of possible attendance. Vale of Leven’s negligible level of use of this code perhaps explains its extremely high levels of the TBC code. UPH - Parental Holiday (Charts P63, P72) In the primary sector this code has been used by every school. The range of use rises in fairly even increments from 0.8% at St Eunan’s to 1.8% at Gartocharn. In the secondary sector it has been used in all schools and there is little difference between them with the range being from 0.7% at Dumbarton to 0.9% at OLSP.
Page 18
18 May Focus Area: Local Learning Communities Across all school sectors, attendance is highest in the Dumbarton LLC and Vale of Leven LLC is the lowest (although there is only 0.8 percentage points between highest and lowest). The Dumbarton LLC has the highest attendance level in both the primary and secondary sectors. Vale of Leven LLC has the lowest attendance in both the primary and secondary sectors. The OLSP LLC has the largest difference between its primary attendance and its secondary attendance. Here the difference is 5.3 percentage points. The smallest difference is at SPTA LLC, where there is 4.1 percentage points between the primary attendance percentage and the secondary. N.B. the Special Sector schools are all included in the Dumbarton LLC.

19 Focus Area: Postcode Prefix A request was made to see data by area, so that has been provided here. G13 Yoker/Knightswood Area: G15 Drumchapel Area: G60 Bowling/Old Kilpatrick Area: G81 Clydebank Area: G82 Dumbarton Area: G83 Vale of Leven Area: G84 Helensburgh Area: (descriptions of areas covered by postcode prefixes are not official and are intended as a guide only)
Page 20
20 April Focus Area: English as an Additional Language For Unauthorised Absence, the EAL cohort shows lower levels than the non-EAL cohort in all sectors. For Authorised Absence, the EAL cohort shows higher levels than the non-EAL cohort in the primary sector and lower in the secondary sector. The EAL cohort shows much higher levels than the non-EAL cohort in the special sector, but this is likely due to small numbers. The EAL cohort accounts for 4.5% of all possible attendance in primary, for 4.8% in secondary, 2.5% in special and 4.6% across all schools.
Page 21
21 March Focus Area: SIMD 2020 Quintiles Comparison For both Unauthorised and Authorised Absence in primary and secondary sectors there appears to be a trend of higher absence for the more deprived quintiles to lower absence for the least deprived quintiles. There is more variation in the special sector, but this is likely related to small numbers in the various cohorts. The extremely high level of unauthorised absence for “Quintile Not Known” is also due to this cohort being in single figures of pupils. Quintiles 1 and 2 account for 72% of all possible attendance, with Quintiles 3, 4 and 5 and unknowns all together accounting for just 28%.
Page 22
22 March Focus Area: Free Meal Entitlement (via Deprivation Criteria only) The FSM cohort shows higher levels of both Unauthorised and Authorised Absence than the non-FSM cohort in all sectors. The FSM cohort accounts for around 31% of possible attendance in the primary sector, around 26% in secondary, around 50% in the special sector and around 29% across all schools.
Page 23
23 February Focus Area: Percentage of Pupils With Less than 90% Attendance The measurement of pupils with less than 90% attendance is restricted to only those who have also been on the roll for more than 4 weeks. This is to prevent pupils who are new to the school and who have also had a period of sickness soon after joining, falling into this category unfairly. % Pupils With Less than 90% Attendance in Primary ranges from 36.1% at Renton Primary School down to 6.2% at St Stephen's Primary School. In secondary schools the range is from 39.1% at Vale of Leven Academy down to 35% at Dumbarton Academy. The average level across all WDC schools is 28.8%.
Page 24
24 Looking at the primary school data by stage, it is generally increasing from P1 to P7. In secondary it is lowest in S1, higher, and at very similar levels for S2, S3 and S4, then dropping back down a bit again in both S5 and S6. Special sector data is provided for information, but there are very small numbers in this sector and therefore individual pupils with specific issues are likely to be heavily influencing the percentages.
Page 25
25 Looking at the primary, secondary and all sectors’ data by SIMD 2020 Quintile, it is generally decreasing from Q1 to Q5. Special sector data is provided for information, but there are very small numbers in this sector and therefore individual pupils with specific issues are likely to be heavily influencing the percentages.
Page 26
26 February Focus Area: Percentage of Pupils With Less than 80% Attendance The measurement of pupils with less than 80% attendance is restricted to only those who have also been on the roll for more than 4 weeks. This is to prevent pupils who are new to the school and who have also had a period of sickness soon after joining, falling into this category unfairly. % Pupils With Less than 80% Attendance in Primary ranges from 14.5% at Dalreoch Primary School down to 0.9% at St Stephen's Primary School. In secondary schools the range is from 16.5% at Vale of Leven Academy down to 14.3% at Dumbarton Academy. The average level across all WDC schools is 10%.
Page 27
27 Looking at the primary school data by stage, it is between 3 to 4% in P1/P2, then between around 5 to 6.5% for P3, P4, P5, P6 & P7. In secondary it is lowest in S1 at around 12%, then around 17 to 20% for S2 to S4 then dropping back down a bit again to around 12.5 to 13.5% in S5/S6. Special sector data is provided for information, but there are very small numbers in this sector and therefore individual pupils with specific issues are likely to be heavily influencing the percentages.
Page 28
28 Looking at the primary, secondary and all sectors’ data by SIMD 2020 Quintile, it is generally decreasing from Q1 to Q5. Quintile 5 in primary is the exception to this, which has a slightly higher level than Quintile 4. However, again we must be wary of small numbers, this represents only 7 individuals out of 316 total primary pupils in SIMD Quintile 5. Special sector data is provided for information, but there are again very small numbers in this sector and therefore individual pupils with specific issues are likely to be heavily influencing the percentages.
Page 29
29 January Focus Area: Attendance of Stage S3 Pupils Looking across all stages, Unauthorised Absence shows a generally increasing trend by stage in the primary sector, although the increases between stages are pretty small. There is an anomaly at stage P6, which is slightly lower than both P4 and P5. In secondary the increase is from around 3.5% of all possible attendance in S1 to around 6% in S2/S3 and then to around 6.5% in S4. S5 and S6 drop back to around 5-5.5%.

Page 31
31 A request was made to see the year stage data also broken down by sex, so that has been provided here.
Page 32
32 Looking at S3, the cohort identified for specific focus in January, this year/stage is the one with the lowest level of attendance (86.2%). Its absence is mostly made up of authorised absence, which accounts for 7.6% of possible attendance (the highest of any stage), while the unauthorised portion (at 6.2%) is 2nd highest, behind S4 (at 6.6%).
Page 33
33 There is a little difference between female and male attendance in S3, with Female being at 85.8% and Male at 86.6%. Authorised Absence, for Females in S3 is at 7.8% and for Males is at 7.4%. For unauthorised, Females are at 6.4%, a little higher than S3 males at 5.9%.
Page 34
34 Across the secondary schools, the attendance rate for S3 pupils ranges from 87.7% at Dumbarton Academy down to 85.2% at St Peter the Apostle High School. OLSP has a comparatively high level of Authorised Absence and comparatively low level (although no longer the lowest) of Unauthorised Absence. Curiously, VoLA shows the reverse of this, a comparatively high level of Unauthorised Absence and comparatively low level of Authorised Absence. SPTA, has the second highest levels of both Authorised and Unauthorised Absence.
Page 35
35 December Focus Area: Additional Support Needs The ASN cohort shows higher levels of both Authorised and Unauthorised Absence than the non-ASN cohort in both primary and secondary sectors. The ASN cohort accounts for 41% of possible attendance in the primary sector, 52% in secondary, 100% in the special sector and 48% across all schools.
Page 36
36 November Focus Area: Individual Attendance Codes: Focus on Specific Codes: RFS/PTH/PTX RFS - Refusal to Attend In the primary sector, this has been used by 16 schools. The school with the highest rate being Carleith where it accounts for 2.8% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools where the rate ranges from 0.4% at SPTA to 1.2% at OLSP, of possible attendance.
Page 37
37 PTH - Part Time TimeTable (health related) In the primary sector, this has been used by 9 schools. The school with the highest rate being St Eunan’s, where it accounts for 0.5% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools where the rate ranges from less than 0.1% at SPTA, OLSP, Dumbarton & CHS to around 0.1% at VoLA, of possible attendance.
Page 38
38 PTX - Part Time TimeTable (exclusion related) In the primary sector, this has been used by 4 schools. At St Peter’s Aitkenbar, Dalreoch & St Martin’s Primaries, this code accounted for less than 0.1% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by 2 schools, OLSP and Dumbarton Academy, where it accounted for less than 0.1% of possible attendance.
Page 39
39 November Focus Area: Comparison of Attendance Levels by Sex The male cohort shows lower levels of Unauthorised Absence than the female cohort in the secondary sector. In primary and special sectors, the levels are slightly higher. The male cohort shows lower levels of Authorised Absence than the female cohort in the secondary and special sectors. In primary males are slightly higher. There is a near 50/50 split between the two cohorts in primary and secondary, but the male cohort is larger in the special sector (the split being 70%/30%).
Page 40
40 October Focus Area: Care Experienced The care experienced cohort shows much higher levels of Unauthorised Absence than the non-care experienced cohort in the secondary sector. In the primary and special sectors it is slightly higher. The care experienced cohort shows much higher levels of Authorised Absence than the non-care experienced cohort in both the primary and secondary sectors. In the special sector it is lower. The care experienced cohort accounts for 3.9% of the possible attendance data across all WDC schools.
Page 41
41 October Focus Area: Care Experienced Young Carers Compared to non Care Experienced Young Carers For Unauthorised Absence, the Care Experienced Young Carer cohort shows much higher levels than the non-Care Experienced Young Carer cohort in the secondary and special sectors, and lower in the primary sector. For Authorised Absence, the Care Experienced Young Carer cohort shows much lower levels than the non-Care Experienced Young Carer cohort in primary, secondary and special sectors. The Care Experienced Young Carer cohort accounts for 2.9% of all possible Young Carer attendance across all WDC schools.
Page 42
42 October Focus Area: Child Protection Registered The Child Protection Registered cohort shows higher levels of Unauthorised Absence than the non-Child Protection Registered cohort in all sectors, but in secondary it is much higher. The Child Protection Registered cohort shows higher levels of Authorised Absence than the non-Child Protection Registered cohort in all sectors, but in special it is much higher. The Child Protection Registered cohort accounts for 0.9% of the possible attendance data across all WDC schools.
Page 43
43 October Focus Area: Individual Attendance Codes: Focus on Specific Codes: OAT OAT - Other Attendance Out of School (e.g. pupil on a day release to a college). In the primary sector, this has been used by 19 schools. The school with the highest rate being St Eunan’s where it accounts for 0.3% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools where the rate ranges from 1% at CHS to 3 % at VoLA, of possible attendance. The 2023-24 Local Authority working group on Attendance Coding provided additional guidance on circumstances where this code could be used and these suggestions are provided below to give a bit of context to the use of this code: Pupils on a day release to a College or other learning provider Interviews and visits relating to further and higher education or careers events Debates, sports, musical or drama activities in conjunction with the school Educational excursions, visits, or field trips organised by the school Day and residential visits to outdoor centres Pupils receiving tuition via outreach teaching services Activities in connection with psychological services, learning or behaviour support
Page 44
44 September Focus Area: % Attendance of P1/S1 Pupils % Attendance of P1 pupils in primary ranges from 96.6% at St Patrick's Primary School down to 89.2% at Dalreoch Primary School. In secondary schools the range for S1 pupils is from 92.5% at Our Lady and St Patrick's High School down to 88% at Clydebank High School. The average P1 level across all WDC primary schools is 93.8% and S1 level across all WDC secondary schools is 90.4%.
Page 45
45 September Focus Area: Individual Attendance Codes: Focus on Specific Codes: ATF/FLX/VHL/SEP ATF - Adapted Timetable (Flexible Education) In the primary sector, this has been used by 11 schools. The school with the highest rate being St Martin’s where it accounts for 5.5% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools where the rate ranges from 0.5% at OLSP to 1.9% at Dumbarton, of possible attendance.
Page 46
46 FLX - Flexible Learning In the primary sector, this has not been used this session. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools where the rate is less than 0.1%, except for St Peter the Apostle High School, where the rate is 3.6% of possible attendance. VHL - Virtual Home Learning In the primary sector, this has been used by 1 school. In Edinbarnet Primary the rate is less than 0.1%. In the secondary sector, it has been used by 4 schools, Our Lady and St Patrick’s High School, Vale of Leven Academy, St Peter the Apostle High School & Clydebank High School, where the rate is less 0.1% of possible attendance.
Page 47
47 SEP – Sickness With Educational Provision In the primary sector, this has been used by 4 schools. The highest being Lennox Primary, where the rate is 0.4% of possible attendance. In the secondary sector, it has been used by all schools and the rate ranges from less than 0.1% at CHS and OLSP to 1.0% at SPTA, of possible attendance.
Page 48
48 September Focus Area: Pupils with No, or Very Low, Attendance There were 5 primary school pupils with no attendance at all, August to May. There were 5 primary school pupils with 10% or less attendance, August to May.
Page 49
49 There were 22 secondary school pupils with no attendance at all, August to May. Nine of these individuals are of age to have already left school. One is still a current pupil, and the other eight of those are now marked as leavers, but their leaving date, being during the current session, means they have possible attendance in this session and therefore must still be included in the attendance/absence statistics. Of the 13 not yet old enough to leave school, one is still a current pupil, but the other twelve have moved on from their schools. Again, their leaving dates, being during the current session, means they have possible attendance in this session and therefore must still be included in the attendance/absence statistics. There were 19 secondary school pupils with 10% or less attendance, August to May. One of these individuals is of age to have already left school.
