Eighteen new attendance hubs have been announced as part of a new government push on cutting stubbornly-high post-Covid absence rates.
The Department for Education made three announcements today, including what it dubbed a “major expansion” of the school attendance hubs scheme.
A total of 32 hubs will now provide support to help drive down absence at 2,000 schools across the country, however this still equates to fewer than one in ten schools. See the full list of new hubs below.
The key announcement today was a £15 million expansion of the attendance mentoring scheme to reach more than 10,000 persistently absence pupils and their families over the next three years.
