Change in Absence over time The table shows the % absence in each academic year and the change in absence between 2012/13 and 2014/15. Some schools (at the top of the list) do not have a full 3-year set of data to use for comparison. Five schools have a higher absence rate in 2014/15 than they did in 2012/13 (and all of those have a higher rate of absence than the national average in 2014/15). 39 schools' absence rate has improved more than the national rate of absence improved during the same time period of 2012/13 to 2014/15, although 18 of those still have a higher absence rate compared to national.
