Use this presentation to make sure all school staff are aware of the importance of good attendance, and their roles and responsibilities when it comes to attendance.
The briefing is adaptable so you can personalise it to your school's context.
You'll cover:
- Why attendance is crucial for attainment, wellbeing and safeguarding
- Your attendance policy and strategy*
- Staff's day-to-day roles and responsibilities in promoting and supporting good attendance
- How to create a positive attendance culture
- How to have supportive but challenging conversations with pupils and families when attendance needs to improve
Please note: this briefing assumes you're taking a strategic approach to attendance. For more on how to do this, see our article on how to develop an attendance strategy. If you're still working on your attendance strategy, you can choose to skip the slide on your strategy and just focus on your policy.
