Slough schools with the best and worst attendance records

Data taken from watchdog OFSTED shows both the overall rate of absence and persistent absences by percentage.

Overall rates of absence is defined by OFSTED as: "the percentage of possible mornings or afternoons recorded as an absence from school for whatever reason, whether authorised or unauthorised, across the full academic year".

OFSTED define persistent absence as 'the percentage of pupils missing 10% or more of the mornings or afternoons they could attend, meaning that if a pupil's overall rate of absence is 10 per cent or higher across the full academic year they will be classified as persistently absent.
