Methodology & Definitions
Persistent Absence (PA): attendance below 90%. National rate 2023–24: 21.5%.
Severely Absent (SA): attendance below 50%.
PP / SEND Gap: percentage-point difference between cohort mean attendance rates (non-disadvantaged minus disadvantaged).
Lost Funding £: total absent sessions × £19.47 blended per-session rate (≈ £7,400 per-pupil income ÷ 380 sessions). Indicative only.
DfE 4-bands: ≥95% above expected · 90–94.9% below expected · 50–89.9% persistent absence · <50% severe absence.
Cohort retention: PA pupils in 2022–23 tracked to 2023–24 by PupilID. Not found in 2023–24 = left school (may include mid-year transfers).
