Improving Attendance & Behaviour in Schools
Persistent absence and poor behaviour are major barriers to learning. Schools and trusts need practical, scalable strategies to re-engage pupils, support staff and improve outcomes.
The challenge
Attendance and behaviour issues can quickly escalate, affecting:
- Pupil progress and wellbeing
- Teacher workload and morale
- Ofsted outcomes and public perception
- Long-term life chances for pupils
The causes are complex — from unmet SEND needs to post-pandemic disengagement — and one-size-fits-all solutions rarely work.

- Behaviour Support & Training: Access expert-led strategies to manage behaviour effectively and consistently.
- Attendance Improvement Programmes: Practical support and consultancy to identify causes of absence and improve tracking and engagement.
- SEND & SEMH provision: Specialist tutors and mentors to support pupils with complex emotional and behavioural needs.
- Alternative Provision Pathways: Safe, structured environments for pupils who cannot thrive in mainstream settings.
