A holistic intervention to allow boys to reach their full potential:

Using data on student suspensions to:

This school prioritised raising attendance. Through collective, structured commitment and focus, they exceeded their own target in raising attendance across the school.

The project summarizes most recent literature and examines the views of younger pupils about the causes and reasons for absence. It explores the roles parents and school staff play in non-attendance and suggests approaches for each to raise attendance.

A synthesis of 72 international studies on attendance, this work delves into 8 approaches used to raise attendance. It explores the integrity of each study and approach.

'...the evidence is clear that regular attendance is really important for learning, wellbeing, and life outcomes. This is not an issue that schools can tackle alone, but schools can make a difference.'

'In this article, we investigated whether and to what extent various dimensions of socioeconomic background (parental education, parental class, free school meal registration, housing status, and neighbourhood deprivation) predict overall school absences and [their] different reasons...'

Factors beyond school affect readiness to learn. This research details groups most likely to experience poverty as well as its longer-term effect on access to and success in education.

This tool supports settings in understanding pupil attitudes to themselves and to school. As well as approaches and guidance, it provides a mechanism for baselining and evaluating improvement.
