Supportive School Attendance Concern Letter to Parents (England)

For attendance officers and pastoral leads in England: paste the pupil's attendance figure, absence pattern and previous contact and get a supportive but clear letter to parents with the concern, support on offer, meeting invitation and, where relevant, penalty notice next steps.

Use cases

• An attendance officer sends a first-concern letter when a Year 7 pupil drops below 90% attendance.
• A pastoral lead follows up with a family after a phone call did not improve a Monday absence pattern.
• A school writes a formal letter when unauthorised absence reaches the national penalty notice threshold.
