Work For Home

Attendance is essential for pupils to get the most out of their school experience, including for their attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances.

Remote education should not be viewed as an equal alternative to attendance in school. Schools are expected to consider it only as a last resort when the alternative would be no education, and only after it has been established that the pupil is, or will be, absent from school. In such cases, remote education can have the benefit of allowing absent pupils to keep on track with their education and stay connected to their teachers and peers.

The school will work closely with pupils, parents, carers, and any other relevant partners such as the local authority, to remove any barriers to attendance as detailed in the school attendance guidance

Scenarios where remote education should be considered

Circumstances where it might not be possible for pupils to receive in-person education fit into 2 broad categories:

  • school closures or restrictions on attendance, where school access for pupils is restricted

  • individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able to learn
