It gives a breakdown of the pupil's cumulative year-to-date attendance percentages in each subject, class and tutor group where: Pres = Present; Auth = Authorised absence; Unauth = Unauthorised absence and the percentage of attendances that were late.

Behaviour information is also cumulative year-to-date, and is given where M/C = merit count: the number of individual merits awarded; M/T = merit total: the total number of merit points awarded; D/C = demerit count: the number of individual demerits awarded and D/T = demerit total: the total number of demerit points awarded.

If any PARS grades have been entered for the pupil they will be displayed next to the subject.
