About persistent absence
A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.
SEN
No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

About these SEND figures
These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.
Ofsted changed how it rates schools in the last couple of years, so ratings from different years aren't always on the same scale - that's why we show the year alongside every rating.
