Call for parents to help tackle schoolchildren's bad behaviour - as figures show 'entrenched class divide'
The education secretary has said "we all need to do more" to improve attendance and behaviour in schools.
Bridget Phillipson said the government had already made progress with five million more days in school this year, "but we all need to do more, and when it comes to getting kids in and behaving - this includes mums, dads and carers too". This comes as the government rolls out measures to support schools with attendance and behaviour as part of its Plan for Change.
The Department for Education (DfE) said on Sunday that an initial wave of 21 schools will serve as hubs, which will share strategies from heads who have successfully taken action on attendance and behaviour. Around 800 schools attended by around 600,000 pupils will have access to support from these hubs, and the DfE said the programme is expected to support 5,000 schools, including intensive support for 500.
Ms Phillipson said there was a particular concern about white working-class children, who have among the highest overall absence rates. She wrote in The Sunday Telegraph that "for far too many white working-class children, opportunity is out of reach.
