Earlier this month the DfE published provisional Key Stage 2 attainment statistics. The big story was the widening of the disadvantage gap, which we dug into a little here.
Today we’re going to look at the relationship between attainment and absence.
We use KS2 data submitted to us by schools via the Early Results Service, and link it to attendance data from Attendance Tracker. This covers around 127,000 pupils in around 2,500 schools.
