IMPROVING Attainment

Our Ambition...

  • We want children and young people to be supported to reach their learning potential at all stages of their education

  • We want parents to recognise the contribution of learning to health, well-being and personal attainment
  • We want parents to feel that they have increased access to learning opportunities
  • We want to see improved attendance levels and engagement of  children and parents within education

How we will achieve this…

  • Common approach to assessment across THRiVE schools
  • Shared attendance policy to support consistent attendance
  • After school support within community
  • WE CAN aspiration campaign
  • Parent programmes and access to adult education and lifelong learning
  • Easter and Summer programmes to support transitions
  • BOOST and Family Learning
  • Aspire
Post-Covid 19 school attendance levels across NI has been negatively impacted and in this area there is more work to be done to offer support to pupils and parents to be in school regularly. THRiVE has hosted attendance workshops to bring together key agencies and learn from evidence and best practice examples. Improving attendance will be a priority for THRiVE in 2024/25.
