School Attendance

The School Attendance (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2024 have now come into force, meaning that it is now statutory that LAs hold regular meetings with schools to discuss attendance concerns, absence fines and thresholds have become standardised, and schools must share attendance figures with government. 

This has also resulted in updates to a number of existing guidance documents:

• Working together to improve school attendance
• Children missing education
• School suspensions and permanent exclusions
• Elective Home Education
• Providing remote education: guidance for schools
