This is just stunning.
*Authorised* illness absence:
still 37% up in Primary Schools
still 50% up in Secondary Schools
and 🚨 an astonishing 74% up in Schools for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
The most vulnerable children, the children most in need of protection from infectious disease, and our government is just throwing them under the bus.

All the data on those graphs is from officially released government statistics:
…e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…
…e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…
All of that garbage that they say about unauthorised absence and chronic absence.
This is *authorised absence due to illness*.
And, lest we forget, when the government tries to blame truancy or parents or lockdowns or strawberries, they don't apply the same criteria to *teachers*.
Teacher illness absence matches pupil absence almost exactly.
