so every child stays engaged right through to the end of the week

Progress has slowed over the past year.

Fridays are becoming a particular weak spot for attendance.

I would be investigating why pupil illness absences are regularly significantly higher at the end of each week.

I am calling on schools to put on interesting clubs and enrichment sessions on Fridays so every child stays engaged right through to the end of the week.

Every school has a role to play to improve attendance.

the authorities to boot this vile child rapist out of Britain

changing the law to allow Ahmed's deportation would be the first step in giving victims the hope they never have to face him again
