Developing a Whole School Policy and Approach to Improve School Attendance: Virtual Short Course
£50.00 + VAT
Your step-by-step guide to managing and improving School Attendance – including tools, checklists and templates you can use in your setting!
School Attendance is a national priority – the Government have categorically stated this and included new support measures in the Schools Bill. The recent published guidance ‘Working together to improve school attendance ‘ is applicable from September 2022 and will become statutory guidance from September 2023. The aim is to improve consistency of attendance management across Schools, Mat’s and Local Authorities, so parents and pupils get the right support at the right time.
This fully online course is delivered via our specialist learning platform – you will be able to access training videos, written materials, downloadable templates, examples and tools, and a test at the end to check your learning.
Designed for flexible learning it means you can work at your own pace and in your own time, and with a year’s access you can keep going back to refresh your knowledge.
