School Attendance Review
Good attendance is the foundation of everything else. When children are in school, they learn, they build friendships, and they stay safe.…
ExploreAttendance & Persistent Absence Support
A child who is not in school cannot learn, be supported, or be kept safe. Attendance has rightly become a central concern for every school, and persistent absence is one of the hardest problems leaders face.
We provide practical attendance support, helping you improve attendance and re-engage the pupils who are hardest to reach, in line with current DfE guidance.
What Is Our Attendance Support?
It is hands-on support to improve attendance and tackle persistent absence. We help you understand your attendance data, strengthen your systems and culture, and put in place effective intervention for the pupils and families who need it most, all aligned to the DfE’s expectations.
The focus is on practical action that actually gets children back into school, not just policy.
Who Is Our Attendance Support For?
It is for schools and trusts concerned about attendance, struggling with persistent absence, or wanting to sharpen their whole-school approach. It suits attendance leads and heads who want more than a policy, they want children in school.

How Does Our Attendance Support Help Your School, Academy, Trust, or Setting?
1
Get children back in
The goal is simple: children in school. We focus on the practical steps that actually bring absent pupils back.
2
Understand your data
Attendance data holds the answers, if you can read it. We help you see who is at risk and where to act first.
3
Tackle persistent absence
Persistent absence is stubborn and complex. We bring proven approaches to the pupils and families hardest to reach.
4
Strengthen your culture
Attendance is everyone’s job, not just the attendance officer’s. We help you build a whole-school approach that works.
5
Intervene early
The earlier you act, the better the outcome. We help you spot and support at-risk pupils before absence entrenches.
6
Work with families
Most absence has a story behind it. We help you engage families in a way that solves problems rather than assigning blame.
7
Align with DfE expectations
We keep your approach in line with current guidance, so you are doing the right things in the right way.
