Whole School Training Package - June 2024

In line with the requirements of Working Together to Improve School Attendance, schools are required to make sure that all teaching and non-teaching staff know the importance of good attendance, are consistent in their communication with pupils and parents, and receive training and professional development in this area.

To support schools to meet this requirement, the Attendance Team has developed a whole school training package. The aim of this training is to help you to develop staff and volunteers' awareness of the importance of regular school attendance. To ensure that all staff recognise that 'attendance' is not a discrete piece of work but rather it is an integral part of the school's ethos and culture. Training guidance (Word doc, 159 KB), a PowerPoint presentation (Powerpoint, 32 MB) and template evaluation form (Word doc, 32 KB) are provided to support schools to deliver this training.
