Note 1: The number of half-days authorised and unauthorised absence for
each pupil assumes 380 half-days in the school session.
Note 2: A percentage figure of zero means less than 0.5 per cent.
Note 3: 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 5: Authorised absence for some pupils may have been affected by foot
and mouth disease.
