Education Attendance

The Attendance Service works in partnership with schools, families and partner agencies to improve school attendance and ensure every child in Waltham Forest has access to a suitable, full-time education.

Our role is to:

  • Promote and improve school attendance.
  • Support schools and families where attendance concerns arise.
  • Help remove barriers to education.
  • Safeguard children who are not accessing education.
  • Ensure statutory attendance duties are met.
  • Reduce the need for enforcement through early intervention and support.

 

Our aim is always to work collaboratively with families to achieve positive attendance outcomes.
