The requirement for schools to publish attendance figures and OFSTED's focus on truancy makes it imperative that schools pay attention to how they can encourage better attendance. This guide offers advice and information on understanding why students stay away from school, and what can be done to increase attendance. Among the items included are: the main reasons for non-attendance; photocopiable examples of questionnaires to gather information; examples of tried and tested successful solutions; help with developing strategies for improving attendance; and a summary box at the end of each chapter to pull out the main points.
