Attendance Networks
Our Attendance Network Meetings are a chance for attendance leaders to collaborate, network and share the workload. Meetings are free of charge and focus on barriers and solutions to pupil attendance in schools. School staff with responsibility for attendance discuss common trends in attendance and share strategies that have had success in their own settings. Key speakers are invited to share initiatives. We work closely with Bolton Early Intervention Team (a Local Authority Service) who often attend networks and discuss the LA approach to attendance. The network meetings are a great way to find out about positive initiatives and the systems and processes that need to be followed at a local level to raise pupil attendance.
Meetings for the 2024/25 academic year are as follows:
Friday 25th October 2024: 12:30pm - 1:30pm at St. Bede CofE Primary Academy

Behaviour Networks
Our Behaviour Network Meetings have only launched this academic year. The purpose of the network is to bring Behaviour Leads together to discuss common trends in behaviour, possible solutions and how research can support an informed approach. Key speakers from different agencies within the Local Authority, and independent agencies are invited to share tips in approaches to better support pupils and their families. Network meetings come at no charge.
