'All children belong in school'
‘All children belong in school’
Low attendance is identified as an area for improvement in all phases in Cornwall. These programmes support a countywide strategy to improve belonging and attendance in schools. Using a rigorous assessment of need, this programme will support leaders and teachers to plan, implement and evaluate an evidence - informed approach, ensuring all pupils thrive in school.
The programme will be divided into one-day phase specific, face-to-face events, supported by a virtual pre - and post-twilight session. There will be two opportunities to access this programme.
The programme will cover:
Creating a whole school culture for improving attendance.
The symptoms and underlying causes of poor attendance:
- understanding the drivers for poor / inconsistent attendance (pupils / families, geographical, school based)
- understanding and addressing 'learning absence' (pupils in school but not participating in learning).
Understanding how to effectively respond to different drivers:
- in the classroom
- through pastoral care
- through personal development
- through working with families.
The use of the self-review to understand challenges and strengths:
- using qualitative and quantitative measures of success.
- developing a Quality Assured implementation plan for addressing attendance challenges
