Public teaser

Since the start of term, several updates on school attendance across the UK have emerged, including the latest attendance figures for England, key survey deadlines, and the introduction of a new notification duty for local housing authorities. Wales sees fresh insights from a recent Estyn report on education welfare services tackling persistent absence, while Northern Ireland’s updated pupil absence data offers valuable benchmarks. Scotland maintains its current guidance framework with no new attendance updates yet.
