How school attendance fines work
Fines relate to unauthorised absence. Schools and local authorities should take a support-first approach where a family is experiencing barriers to attendance.
Attendance is recorded in sessions: one morning and one afternoon session each day. Missed sessions can affect confidence, friendships and progress. The learning figures use a typical five-hour teaching day.
