In a new analysis for FFT Education Datalab, Katie Beynon takes a fresh look at the link between Year 11 absence and GCSE results – and finds that the story is more complex than recent DfE figures suggest.

Paired with powerful personal stories and expert commentary, the data offers more than just numbers – it reveals a system increasingly strained by unmet needs, limited resources, and complex challenges both inside and beyond the school gates.
