All Sutton Schools have an allocated Education Welfare Officer within the Cognus Attendance Support Team, who are linked with wider services in order to ensure a full understanding of the support needs of children and families.
Sometimes schools require specialist help, we offer bespoke attendance support which may involve working with families, this often means close working with other agencies to help improve the attendance of their pupils.
Every child in the United Kingdom has the right to a full-time education, so they can develop to their fullest potential and gain important skills that prepare them for the future, increasing their life choices.
We recognise the importance of working holistically with a family to identify and remove barriers, our aim is to make a difference to the outcomes for children and young people by improving their school attendance.
