Pupil attendance, advice for schools and professionals

On these pages schools will find advice and resources to assist with improving attendance and reducing persistent absence.

FAST-track to Attendance is the legal process schools should use to tackle ongoing unauthorised absence – for more information see page 2.

The leave in term time (legal) process is for cases of unauthorised leave in term time of continuous five days or 10 sessions.
