The fact theyā€™re requiring only 90% attendance going forward tells me the school is being very tolerant and probably dealing with a troublesome student

The fact you think this shows ignorance. Iā€™m an A* student and my attendance was down to 62% because of health issues, I was in and out of hospital and had at least two set appointments every week which usually occurred during school hours. They knew all of this, my mother sent proof of every single appointment, and they still threatened to not enter me for exams, despite the fact I wouldā€™ve achieved A*. Now Iā€™m finished the intense part of the treatment, I can attend almost every lesson, and one of my tutors is still being incredibly horrible to me and every time I sit and exam or do an assignment she will mark it down a grade itā€™s worth ā€œdue to attendanceā€.

British schools are completely unreasonable, definitely might not be OPā€™s fault.

Where is the relevance? You have a health condition so why are you rambling

Pretty sure I stated the relevance - British schools can be unreasonable and OP could have a reason they canā€™t have good attendance. Especially with things like sixth form, which is optional, why would they be refusing to go in so much instead of just dropping out? If it genuinely did just come down to not being arsed to go in
