Attendance – New multiple character codes introduced (WALES ONLY) (3.89)
Description
The latest list of codes issued by the Welsh Government (WG) contains new multiple character codes.
IMPORTANT: Any reports that reference the internal code must be case sensitive. If not, it will affect the outcome of the reporting as some codes now have different meanings according to whether they are uppercase or lowercase.
| Internal Code | Meaning | Stat Meaning | School Meaning | WG Code |
| b | O | A | Approved sporting activity | P1 |
| c | O | A | Approved performance | P2 |
| d | O | A | Flexi-schooled pupil | C3 |
| e | O | A | Part-time timetable | C4 |
| f | O | A | Remote learning | C5 |
| g | O | A | Physical illness | I1 |
| h | O | A | Non-physical illness | I2 |
The new codes are not to be confused with the following existing codes:
| Internal Code | Description (School Meaning) |
| B | Educated off site (NOT Dual registration) |
| C | Other authorised circumstances (not covered by another code/description) |
| D | Dual Registration (i.e. pupil attending other establishment) |
| E | Excluded (no alternative provision made) |
| F | Extended family holiday (agreed) |
| G | Family holiday (NOT agreed or days in excess of agreement) |
