As advertised by email, we are asking schools to nominate key leaders to consider becoming a part of the Attendance Review team that will undertake reviews in our schools. We would want to give as many colleagues the opportunity to take part in a review as this will be excellent professional development for them and they will work as part of a team in compiling an in-depth report for the host school.

Training will take place 9.00am until 12.00pm on 11th May 2023 at St Joseph's Parish Hall, Crow Orchard Rd Wrightington WN6 9PA.
