Reading: Making the Most of the School Week
Read the passage.
When Idris’s class planned a canal boat visit, he was keen to go. His friend Hollie had missed several lessons earlier in the term and was finding it harder to follow the class project. Idris realised that being in school regularly helped him keep up with new ideas and ask for help when something was unclear.
Attendance is about more than completing work. At school, pupils can practise listening, sharing ideas and working with other people. They may also take part in clubs, trips and other activities that happen during the school day. These experiences can help pupils feel part of their class and build friendships with classmates and teachers.
Missing lessons can make it difficult to understand later topics, especially when new work builds on earlier learning. A pupil who feels behind may become less confident and find it harder to return to a routine. Support from teachers and family can help break this pattern. Talking about any difficulty that makes attending school hard is an important first step towards getting help.
Schools may use approaches such as a trusted adult who checks in with a pupil or a reward for improved attendance. These approaches work best when pupils feel listened to and supported. Regular attendance gives pupils more chances to learn, connect with others and take part in school life.
