An article published by the FFT on November 17th addressed the growing number of pupil absences so far this year. It found:
- a higher percentage of pupils missing more school now than pre-pandemic, particularly pupils in vulnerable groups.
- 14% of pupils in Years 7 to 11 have missed at least 20% of school.
To help you to target this growing problem, SAM Learning provides your school with the functionalities to target small groups or individual learners who have missed school time.
Used by teachers to track progress and target knowledge gaps to improve grades, this well-established platform is independently proven to raise attainment.
