To support all pupils with their attendance schools should:
- be curious and concerned about changes to attendance
- make reasonable adjustments to policies and procedures
- work in partnership with families, so that schools have a sense of school belonging
Some pupils may need enhanced adaptations and support which may:
- include time specific, targeted interventions, including a personalised stepped support plan
- require support from external agencies
A small number of pupils may need specialist attendance support, such as:
- multi-agency support
- support outlined in an education, health and care (EHC) plan, or via Section 19.
