Senior leaders boost attendance through hubs

As reported by DfE, school leaders collaborate to enhance attendance, sharing effective strategies and resources in virtual hub meetings to address common challenges and improve practices

Support is available for senior leaders in all mainstream maintained schools and academies. You should:

• have oversight of attendance in your school
• be able to join virtual hub meetings each term
• be committed to applying insights and changing practices to increase attendance

What’s involved

You can access support by expressing an interest in being part of an attendance hub. After you’ve been matched you to a hub, the lead school will invite you to virtual hub meetings. These virtual hub meetings are an opportunity to:

• refine your approach to managing attendance in school
• share good practice for managing attendance with others
• discuss any common challenges you’re facing

You should use what you learn during the meetings to make changes to your school’s existing processes for managing attendance.

You are also expected to play an active role in hub discussions.
