This stage addresses students whose absence is impacting their engagement in learning and the wider school community and has reduced to less than 90%.
Poor attendance not only affects academic progress but also reduces their sense of community and belonging.
Regular attendance is crucial to ensure every child receives the best possible opportunities, and our schools collaborate with all stakeholders to identify and address these barriers, implementing support plans to improve attendance.
