Summary of the maln achievomants of the charity durfng thè year A continuiNJ key wNxity area of swwt this year has been arourKJ the impact. of endemic levels of school abserKe. meaning children are missing out on their rtght to education. Current DOE figures show that over 150,000 dmtdren were persistenuy absent which is TRIPLE what is was pre Par•Jemic. The latest statistics from the Department for EduotK)n{2023), show that 20.1% of children were persistently absent fft Autumn 2023, whith conceTrHngly means that a frfth of children are regularty absent from school, and one child per ctass is absent every day. Children who are eligible for free school meals and those with identified special eduCat￿nal neèds (SEN) have muth hrgher rates of prsistert abse￿, relative to their p88YS.
