Attended Periods: Calculates the number of periods which the student attended where the roll is marked, compared to the number the student should have attended to calculate the final attendance percentage. Time at School: Calculates the amount of time the student spends at school compared with the amount of time they should be. If a student is registered as arriving late or departing early then the amount of time outside the school will affect the calculated attendance percentage. |
