The Autumn 2020 data is hugely unreliable. Remember, at that time, schools were setting up Covid test centres in their sports halls, managing bubbles, delivering remote learning whilst in person teaching + deciding whether to code an absence as Covid 'X' or not?!

Pre-pandemic, Autumn 2019, those missing 50% of the term was 60,244. 40% of those absences have no recorded reason.
Autumn 2020 data is even more patchy because: C19, not fit for purpose registration codes (subjective + nebulous + variable depending on school culture).

What evidence do you have that these kids are the same as those on school to prison pipeline? Pls don't conflate exclusions research with persistent absence, which is misunderstood and woefully under-researched. Why? Because they're truants of course or parents are complicit.
