Episode Details

Starting next month, every school in England will face new, personalized attendance targets as part of a bold push to get kids back in class — but it’s not just about numbers, it’s about the kids. With attendance progress stalled over the past year, the government is demanding more strategic action, recognizing that barriers like illness, mental health, poverty, and special needs go beyond the classroom. Schools are being urged to spot problems early and act fast — especially on Fridays, when absences spike — by offering engaging after-school activities. And to help, parents are being invited into the fold through coffee mornings and parent evenings, aiming to build stronger home-school ties that keep students coming back every day.
