School attendance and truancy

We aim to help schools to secure excellent attendance levels and educational services in the borough.

In addition, we provide support and advice to parents in relation to their children's attendance at school.

For guidance on school attendance, view information on:

• the law
• parental advice
• the role of the EWS.
