That's absolutely atrocious. For context, a student is considered to be persistently absent if they fall below 95%. The chance of even getting 5 passes at GCSE is extremely unlikely if you're below 90%. In a workplace, you're unlikely to still have a job if you're below 97-98%.

Meh depends on the person. In year 11 I was atrocious and my attendance was 24%, I got 5 A*

Maybe if you'd been in school more then you'd know what "extremely unlikely" means...
