The data is collected from individual education establishments and the published figures include estimates for non-response. Equivalent estimates have not been made at lower level geographies. In addition, the Department has not produced separate overall attendance figures for the primary and secondary phases.

[1] Secondary schools, sixth form and further education colleges were asked to begin providing face-to-face support to students in year 10 and 12 from June 15th. For dates prior to this, no information was collected for these years.

[2] Figures for year 12 attendance do not include students at further education and special post-16 institutions.
