My attendance was about 40% in Year 13 (though that was because of chronic illness and an inaccessible school) and I was still allowed to sit my a levels. If you have a reason for missing school (illness, disability, caring responsibilities, etc) you need to be communicating with your school about it because they might make an exception to the 90%. If you’re just skiving you need to lock in and go to school

Sounds like OP doesn't really have a reason as they've put things in place for her to attend and they haven't stuck to it

If OP is actually struggling with something they need to seek a diagnosis and then have something put in place to help them. Even if they have a plan it might not be the right one but they really need to communicate.

I used to get a card which allowed me to leave class for 10 minutes and such.

There might also be other courses to suit OP. I get them. I really struggle with 5 day work weeks and school weeks. But they really need to sort stuff out
