Staff Meeting in a Box: understanding and addressing factors that affect attendance.

This ‘Staff Meeting in a Box’ contains a slideshow presentation and accompanying resource pack. Each includes key information, questions, activities, reflection points and links to further reading.

Use the slideshow as a structure for your staff meetings. It’s helpful if you are able to display the slideshow for everyone to see. Print the resource pack for everyone to complete during the session.

Topic: Strengthening School Attendance

Some students occasionally miss a day or session in school, whereas others are what is known as ‘persistently absent’. And for some schools, internal absence is also a concern, where students are in school but out of lessons.

There are a wide range of factors that affect school attendance so we need to approach the issue with curiosity, compassion, and sensitivity.

Use these resources to reflect on your school’s current practices and explore ways to strengthen attendance for all students.
