Support to Schools and Academies
We offer strategic advice on policy, practice and procedures.
Working collaboratively with colleagues in schools, our core offer provides a proven systematic and vigorous approach to the management of pupil attendance. Our targeted intervention is accomplished through regular in-depth data analysis profiling and the monitoring of patterns of pupil absence allowing prompt response to the identification of vulnerable pupils/groups and the implementation of actions for improvement as per local authority attendance procedures.
