130,000 fewer pupils missed 15% of school in 2012-2013, a fall of almost a third on 2009-2010 figures.
The increase of truancy fines and the reduction in time to pay, along with the threshold for persistent absence lowered from 20% to 15% are both key contributing factors to the improving figures. With long standing evidence showing that absence has a significant impact upon attainment, however, more must be done.
Children who miss 10–20% of school have a 39% of achieving 5 A2 to C GCSEs, in comparison to 73% of children who miss less than 5% - these figures speak for themselves. Whilst the fall in truancy is clearly a step in the right direction, non-attendance and its strong link to attainment will always remain a hot topic. The Government clearly has a focus on this issue and so we should expect additional deterrents to truancy and further policy to follow over the next year.
Following the Conservatives’ election victory in December the new government will be able to implement their election manifesto in full.
