Attendance – Universal

UNIVERSAL

The 4 stages

Universal: The majority of our students will thrive and progress at the universal stage.

Monitoring: Students demonstrate emerging concerns in some characteristics  and may need minimally enhanced intervention.

Targeted: Students require targeted interventions and plans to support progress in various characteristics.

Specialist: Students require specialist bespoke support and involvement from external agencies across various characteristics.

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.
