The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills will publish COVID-19 related school data on this page daily (Monday to Friday, term time only).
Daily confirmed new cases are taken from testing data each morning. This data is analysed and reported to CYPES by the close of business each day. CYPES update the figures on this page the following working day.
The data below shows the % of pupils who are known to have been present across States primary and secondary schools for the morning sessions and exclude nursery and reception classes. Attendance records can be subject to change (for example due to lateness). There are a range of reasons why children are not present in school. At the moment this may be related to COVID, or other authorised or unauthorised absences.
