  • Overcome school worries: Expert tips to support your child and help keep them in class.

    While many children enjoy school and thrive in an environment where they can be with friends and take part in different activities, it is also completely normal for them to go through a phase of mild worry about going into school - perhaps after school holidays, a period of sickness, or due to a fall out with friends - and it can be difficult for parents to know what to do for the best when these feelings surface. Before Covid, persistent absence had been decreasing, from 16% in 2010/2011 to 11% in 2019/2020, according to government statistics. But following Covid, there has been a significant increase in absences from school. The government is working on this, and there are around 380,000 fewer pupils who were persistently absent or not attending in 2022/23 than in 2021/22. But it is still the case that more than one in five children in England have frequently missed school over the last academic year, a figure which has more than doubled, compared with pre-pandemic numbers. Department for Education research suggests there are a number of reasons that absence from school has increased. Some children experience severe anxiety, or have complex needs or underlying conditions, that mean that school can be challenging. Where this is the case, parents can also talk to teachers and a healthcare professional, like a GP, if they haven't done so already for guidance. For many children though, their worry is mild and temporary. In most cases, missing school is likely not the best or only option.
