Raising Attendance supports the Behaviour and Attendance strand of the National Strategies.

Achieving regular attendance is more than students simply turning up for lessons, it’s about raising awareness with everyone that missing school equates to missing out on opportunities.

If a child has 10 days off school in a school year, they’re actually spending more days at home than they are at school.

Module 1  - Missing school – missing out
Module 2 – Encouraging excellent attendance
Module 3 – Preventing absenteeism
Module 4 – Involving the school, home and community
Module 5 – Case studies

What has Raising Attendance been designed to do:

• Highlight the importance of school attendance and the most important factors that influence attendance rates
• Identify the ways in which a school can encourage attendance, including ways to motivate students to achieve excellence
• Identify the ways in which a school can minimise absenteeism and address the issue of lateness
• Demonstrate how schools can encourage excellent attendance through its links with each student’s home and the wider community

Who is Raising Attendance for?

• Suitable for primary and secondary schools
• Ideal for all teachers both established and newly qualified, heads of department, curriculum managers, senior management teams, CPD co-ordinators.
• Also a useful resource for governors, parents, Local Authorities, community groups, the EWS and external agencies.
