SEND and Ethnic background school absences

I request combined data on SEND and Ethnic background school absences from Autumn Term 2018 to Present Day. I would like combined data on this. E.g. the percentage of absences for SEND pupils from different ethnic backgrounds.  Does your local authority have data on the following:

1. Attendance % by ethnic minority students in Secondary Schools. 

The data provided for questions 1 and 2 has been taken from the DfE (Department for Education) published statistics and they did not publish information for the 2019/20 Autumn and Spring Terms.

Absence data is normally collected in the school census one term in arrears.  Due to the pandemic, there was no Summer 2020 census so there was no absence data for Spring 2019/20 and whilst there was an Autumn 2020 census it did not collect any historic absence data.

Absence rates taken from the DfE published statistics 

State-funded secondary Absence Rates
2017/18 Autumn and Spring Term 2018/19 Autumn and Spring Term 2020/21 Autumn and Spring Term
Ethnicity_Minority_Ethnic_Group 5.4% 5.4% 4.9%

 2. Attendance % of those with SEND students in Primary Schools. 

Absence rates taken from the DfE published statistics 

State-funded primary Absence Rates
2017/18 Autumn and Spring Term 2018/19 Autumn and Spring Term 2020/21 Autumn and Spring Term
SEN_provision_SEN_Support 5.2% 5.0% 5.2%
SEN_provision_Statement_or_EHCP 7.2% 7.3% 14.2%

 3. Attendance breakdown for those with SEND and from an ethnic minority background.  

The DfE census data does not calculate attendance it works on absence %, therefore, we are unable to provide the breakdown as the data is not released in this format.
