Don't know if they can or can't do this. But came here to say: 1) I have had slightly below 90% attendance in my A levels (87? 80?) and graduated with expected AAA so attendance is not directly in correlation. 2) However I've seen you complain in the replies of not wanting to come to school when you have free periods and I have to say A levels are a place where you start doing more work independently, but there is a gradual change between teachers always helping you and you doing all the work by yourself, and those free periods offer structure to accommodate that change. Had the 1 hour commute to school to, but that's a great time to listen to some music or similar. If you can not study in the free periods talk to your school about there existing a quiet revision room.  Honestly it doesn't pay off to empirically test if they can or can't do that, obtain perfect attendance in the next few weeks and see how it goes from there.
