Tell you what, let’s give them an attendance target.
Good idea.

Hi @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Schools are struggling at the moment. 14 years of cuts have coincided with unparalleled rises in behaviour, attendance and complex SEND needs. There are no AP places and schools are barely coping.

Good idea.
