Ken Reid highlights some of the findings uncovered from his detailed analysis of the impact on school attendance of Ofsted reports conducted on primary schools in 2003. Some interesting results are revealed, such as: the serious impact low attendance can have upon the outcome of inspections; good and poor practice; how schools located in deprived areas with disproportionate numbers of pupils requiring free school meals, special needs or having above average-numbers of pupils from ethnic minorities tend to have above-average rates of authorised and unauthorised absence. Finally, the data uncovers a large number of schools who report no unauthorised absences whatsoever, including some with above-average rates of authorised absence. |
