Your quick wins for improving attendance this term

Being in school matters

One in four children were persistently absent from school in autumn 2021 compared to one in nine pre-pandemic. These stark findings have ignited Government initiatives designed to reduce absenteeism and, subject to Parliament, a statutory requirement for schools to actively promote regular attendance from September 2023.

Join us in conversation with Education Consultant and DfE Advisor, Jayne Lowe, as we shine a light on the situation and discuss tips to help schools reduce absenteeism.
