I am writing to request the following information in relation to sickness absence in schools:
1. The number of days lost per primary school to teaching staff sickness absence in 2015/16 and 2016/17.
2. The number of days lost per secondary school to teaching staff sickness absence in 2015/16 and 2016/17.
This information is held by the individual schools so Devon County Council does not hold this information. We would therefore recommend that you approach the schools to obtain their information.
However, data is available relating to the schools census which is freely available on the website below:
