Despite considerable government funding in both LEA's and schools- to promote new measures to improve school attendance, non-attendance at school is a relatively neglected topic as far as serious researched-based literature is concerned. This book will be the first in several years concerned with non-attendance. Previously unpublished research material in the book will provide a multi-disciplinary evaluation of practice at LEA, whole school and individual levels.Making the most of SIMS .net.School attendanceGreat BritainSchool attendance371.2/94/0941Blyth Eric879181Milner Judith1941-879182MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825989703321Improving school attendance3983924UNINA
