A few years ago, an interesting article in the Times Educational Supplement summarised some analysis that showed that there was an increase in absence among disadvantaged pupils on Christmas Jumper Day.

Last week there was another “day” which has tended to feature dressing up – World Book Day – which took place on 1st March.

So did this coincide with a fall in attendance among disadvantaged pupils?

And what about Christmas Jumper Day this year? And Children in Need Day?
