Even though attendance is high in many of our schools, we're having a real focus on this. APs have provided key learning where often pupils have been out for significant time, but also come from different curriculum pathways

I'd be interested to year thoughts on this one.
It's something I pose around PP, behaviour and attendance especially. Do people have the same shared understanding?
