Attendance mentors in schools: Stop persistent absenteeism

Stop worrying about future data and focus on today

Education for thousands of pupils is being compromised as they miss out on vital schooling.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, schools have reported increased absent pupils.

The national attendance crisis is real. Severe absence (missing over 50% of sessions) has risen to 2.26% of pupils, and persistent absenteeism remains high at 17.63% across the UK.

Our specialist attendance mentor service is available immediately to deliver the precise, high-impact intervention your school needs. From £150 per day, attendance mentors work to build self-confidence and provide tailored coping strategies, motivating absent pupils to re-engage with the classroom and thrive.

Attendance mentors work one-to-one or in small group settings to improve attendance.

Our attendance mentors help:

• Support absent pupils to get back into the classroom.
• Focus on the personal and learning objective the schools set.
• Develop a trusting, honest relationship with the pupils.
• Use proven strategies to raise self-confidence and learner expectations.
• Provide targeted support in line with existing care plans.

Our mentors have experience working within schools. They come from various backgrounds, including mental health support, welfare, youth work and the military.

Because trust is everything when supporting vulnerable pupils, every single one of our attendance mentors is fully cleared to the highest safeguarding standards, exceeding UK regulatory requirements.
