30 When a part-time student has attended a school

(1) This section establishes when a part-time student is taken to have attended a school for the purposes of the school survey data.

(2) A part-time student is taken to have attended the school if—

(a) the student is enrolled at the school; and

(b) the student has attended the school during the relevant period for the school for at least the minimum period of the program or course of study for which the student is enrolled.

(3) However, a part-time student is also taken to have attended the school if—

(a) the student is enrolled at the school; and

(b) the student attended the school during the relevant period for the school for less than the minimum period because of the student’s absence from the school; and

(c) the student’s absence was for a reason beyond the control of—

(i) if the student is living independently of the student’s parents or guardian—the student; or

(ii) otherwise—the student’s parents or guardian.

(4) A
"minimum period" , of a program or course of study for a part-time student, means the days worked out using the following formula—

where—

"MP" means the minimum number of days.

"PTD" means the number of days during which a program or course of study for which the student is enrolled is taught in the relevant period.

"RP" means the number of days in the relevant period.

(5) Each day a part-time student attends a school, or during which a program or course of study for which a student is enrolled is taught, is taken to be 1 whole day for the purposes of working out MP and PTD under subsection (4) , regardless of the number of hours of attendance or teaching.

(6) Also, for working out the minimum period, MP must be rounded up to a whole number.

Example—

An MP of 4.2 days would be rounded up to 5 days.
