FA1 Attendance Information

At Forward As One, it is our ambition to have every child in school every day and therefore a robust and effective attendance strategy is implemented in every school.
Attendance is everybody’s responsibility and Forward As One’s school senior leadership teams strive to build a culture where all staff are clear on their roles and responsibilities and therefore can be held to account. To enable all staff to fulfil their role, clear systems and procedures are implemented and are understood by all and applied consistently.
Forward As One’s approach focuses on preventative measures and swift intervention. This allows leaders to plan for contextual challenges, alongside educating parents on the impact of absence from school both academically and socially.
The key principle underpinning the approach of early intervention is to develop partnerships with parents to understand the barriers and work with families to remove them.

We thank you for your support to achieve the best attendance possible.
