Schools in North East Lincolnshire are teaming up to tackle attendance issues, aiming for better outcomes for students and a brighter future.
Leaders from various schools and trusts are coming together. They want to address the attendance problem that’s been a struggle since the pandemic hit.
The conference is set for February 13 at the University Centre Grimsby. Baroness Anne Longfield, a former Children’s Commissioner, will be the keynote speaker.
She’ll talk about why it’s crucial for kids to be in school. Plus, there will be workshops to share what’s working well in different schools.
This group formed last year to help local education leaders work together. They aim to support all learners in North East Lincolnshire.
Local trusts like Enquire and Oasis are part of this effort, along with Franklin Sixth Form College and Grimsby Institute.
Ann-Marie Matson, the Director of Children’s Services, emphasized the importance of school for kids. Regular attendance leads to healthier, more successful lives.
She’s excited about the conference and grateful to Grimsby Institute for hosting. It’s a chance to focus on a pressing issue affecting children in the area.
The event will showcase successful initiatives and spark discussions on improving attendance. There will be eight workshops covering various topics, including resilience and data analysis.
Spaces for the conference are limited, so it’s first-come, first-served. Interested folks can book their spots online.
