"Learners have high attendance and are punctual."

All schools will understand that poor mental health is one of the biggest drivers of the attendance crisis (Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition (2023) Written evidence (PA0130) House of Commons Education Select Committee). To bring learners back into the classroom, it is imperative that we create psychologically safe spaces that are accessible for and inclusive of everybody.

A large part of Emoco's role will be to help schools harness the collective wisdom of their whole-school community to do this, unlocking practical insights as to how your school can do this.

Emoco aims to create a school community, environment & culture which everyone - including learners - have ownership of.

Emoco believes that another large part of tackling the attendance crisis involves co-creating an educational experience pupils really want to have. It is logical to believe that this, in turn, would then increase attendance.
