When reviewing male attendance the 14-16 cohort of students have the lowest attendance rate at 68.8% and has decreased by 16.84% when compared to 2014/2015. This is as a result of significant staffing issues in respect of the 14-16 Construction programmes this academic year.

Section 7: Priority Groups 2015/2016 7.1 The Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2015/2016 The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) uses 32482 Super Output Areas (SOA) which are geographical units smaller than wards. SOAs ranked 1-3248 are the most deprived and those ranked 29234 32482 are the least deprived. City College Coventry is placed in Quartile 1 which is the most deprived. This is typical of an urban college in a large city.
