Attendance Matters!

Being in school is important to your child’s achievement, wellbeing and wider development. Every moment in school counts and days missed soon add up quickly!

How can North Somerset help you improve your child’s attendance? North Somerset Family Wellbeing Parenting Team run Advanced Parenting groups for parents that are interested in linking up to support each other, share and learn about strengths-based parenting strategies alongside an Evidence Based manualised programme and resources. The objectives of our groups are varied but in terms of school attendance they can help by supporting parents to improve children’s school readiness by enhancing language, reading and social skills. They help strengthen parent child interactions and attachment, reducing harsh discipline and fostering parents’ ability to promote children’s social, emotional and academic development.
