Low truancy rates revealed in Devon

Devon has some of the lowest rates of truancy in the country.

New Government figures reveal that Devon is among the top 10% of local authorities for its high attendance levels.

Only 2.9% of children miss 15% or more school time.  That's way below the national average of 4.6%.  In the South West the overall figure is 3.7%.

Of 150 locals councils responsible for education in England, only 13 have better figures than Devon.
