Purpose

Bracknell Forest Council and its partners
recognise the need for a clear strategic vision to improve school
attendance. This will ensure we are aligned with the Department of
Education Guidance ‘Working Together to Improve School
Attendance’ which was developed to help schools, trusts,
governing bodies, and local authorities maintain high levels of
school attendance and improve consistency of support and became
statutory from August 2024.

Decision

RESOLVEDthat
 
i.      
Cabinet approve the
request to undertake a public consultation on the proposed school
attendance strategy.

 
ii.    
the revised strategy to be presented to cabinet
following the consultation.
