We are doing the looking at high school thing for Tom at the moment and I have noticed none of them say "We closed for 6 days last year for snow/water/bomb threat or what ever" but they do say what the pupil attendance was - I think its a government set statistic for assessing schools.

Then again like one of the head's said - kids cant learn anything if they are not in school and I always found having days off school made in hard to catch up on new things.
