Welcome to the Forest Academy Attendance Hub, where our primary goal is to foster the exchange of effective strategies for rapidly improving attendance among a national network of schools facing similar challenges.

Situated on the edge of the London Borough of Croydon, bordering the London Borough of Bromley, Forest Academy serves a diverse and vibrant community in an area characterised by high deprivation. As part of the Inspire Partnership Trust, comprising nine primary schools across three local authorities, Forest Academy's attendance strategy is informed by a holistic, whole-school relationships model.

Drawing from the wealth of expertise and experiences within the Inspire Partnership Trust, Forest Academy has developed a suite of attendance-related materials, catalogued across several key themes:


This comprehensive resource site is designed to support schools within our attendance network. Understanding the critical role attendance plays in a child's educational journey, we leverage our years of expertise and collaborative efforts to provide a range of materials aimed at enhancing attendance practices. Each theme within this hub is curated to address specific aspects of attendance management, empowering schools to improve attendance rates effectively. Dive into each theme's dedicated page to access practical tools, insightful approaches, and valuable research, and let's work together to create a culture of attendance excellence for every child's success.
