The Education (School Attendance Targets)(England) Regulations 2005

These Regulations revoke and replace the Education (School Attendance Targets) (England) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”). They require school governing bodies to set attendance targets for authorised and unauthorised absences from school, expressed as a percentage of the total possible attendances by pupils.
