Our Networks
Attendance Networks
'Attendance Networks' 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 this year are as follows:
25.10.24: 12.30-1.30pm at St Bede CofE Primary Academy
14.02.25: 12.30-1.30pm at St Bede CofE Primary Academy
23.05.25: 12.30-1.30pm at St Bede CofE Primary Academy

Behaviour Networks
Our Behaviour Networks have only launched this year with the first meeting taking place in November. 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 Authority and independent agencies are invited to share tips in approaches to better support pupils and their families. Network meetings come at no charge.
