Pupil attendance and absence management policy

School must follow their own internal school attendance procedures. This will include:

• first day response
• regular home visits
• regular (more than one) meetings to discuss concerns and identify support measures with a formalised attendance improvement plan with SMART targets that include parent and pupil views
• details of the reasonable adjustments academic and pastoral to support the pupil should be included in the plan, along with support relating to any Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) need
• consider the use of direction off site to an alternative provision for some pupils who are difficult to re-engage with school
• escalation to the school senior leader responsible for attendance (SLT)
