Share of possible sessions missed, 2024/25. Overall absence is the share of possible sessions missed (pupils aged 5 to 15), for the full academic year (autumn, spring and summer terms). DfE, Pupil absence in schools in England 2024/25, published 26 March 2026. England figures are for the same type of school and the same year. Every year in the table and chart below comes from the same full-year series (2016/17 to 2024/25, no 2019/20), so the latest year and the history agree. The 2025/26 autumn and spring figures are a separate in-year release and are not joined to this series.
