Difficulties Attending School
Page last updated
Most children go through periods of time when they find it hard to attend school. For some this can be due to something they are worried about in school, for others it’s because they’re worried about something outside of school. Others fall out of the habit of attending school, possibly after some time off and then struggle to return. This can be stressful for pupils as well as their parent/carers.
