Every state school in England will now share their daily attendance registers across the education sector.

The DFE have today issued new regulations in relation to School Attendance (link below). The Association has been working closely with the DFE, our President Steve Wilkinson said:

“We welcomed the opportunity to work closely with the DfE to share the vast expertise of our members with improving attendance in schools and other educational provisions.”

“Putting these measures on a statutory footing helps reinforce the importance of school attendance and the need to ensure families receive the support they need, when they need it, working together to ensure any barriers to attendance for children are removed.”

The full DFE press release and link to the new regulations can be used following the link below.
