Request

Please may you provide me with:

  • The number of penalties issued to parents in relation to unauthorised absences 
  • The number of penalties issued to parents in relation to unauthorised holidays 
  • The number of staff whose role involves issuing penalties for unauthorised absences 

I would like the data broken down for the last five years, with a year-end date of 5 April or whichever year-end is most convenient.  

If this cannot be provided I would like the annual data for the last three years or, failing that, the last two.
