Question - How do I produce an attendance report for last term showing overall figures for attendances, authorised absence, unauthorised absence and persistence absence?

Answer - You can produce this using the Custom Attendance Report in Reporting > Reports > Attendance tab > Custom Attendance Report. If you leave the filters as the default, enter your desired date range and click choose. This will show a breakdown by year with a totals row at the bottom of the table.
