Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
Attendance and absence data in Welsh maintained primary, middle, secondary and special schools for pupils aged 5 to 15 over the entire academic year.
- Data collection or calculation
Attendance data is recorded throughout the year in each school’s attendance register/management information system.
Schools in Wales are legally required to keep pupil registers under section 434 of the Education Act 1996 (UK legislation). The detailed requirements are set out in The Education (Pupil Registration) (Wales) Regulations 2010 (UK legislation). These Regulations require the proprietor of every school to keep an admission register and, except where all pupils are boarders, an attendance register.
- Statistical quality
We work closely with local authorities to ensure all data is validated before tables are published. Data is collated by local authorities into an electronic return and submitted to the Welsh Government through DEWi, a secure online data transfer system developed by the Welsh Government. Various stages of automated validation and sense-checking are built into the process to ensure a high quality of data.
All stages in the collection, validation and production of these statistics are led by statisticians from the Government Statistical Group.
