Pupils Not Attending Regularly (PNAR)
Regulation 13(7) and (8) of the School Attendance (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2024 requires schools to inform the local authority of any pupils who have 10 or more consecutive school days absence without the school's permission.
The current agreed criteria is to provide:
- The name and address of any school age pupil who has missed ten continuous school days where their absence had been recorded with one or more of the codes as unauthorised (G, N, O and/or U).
Schools are also under a safeguarding duty, under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to investigate any unexplained absences. Schools can use the link below to report a pupil not attending regularly (PNAR).
