Ofsted Framework Attendance and Behaviour Audit 2025

Strengthen your school’s approach to attendance and behaviour with this updated audit pack. Designed for attendance champions overseeing attendance strategy and practice, and behaviour leaders and pastoral teams, it guides a clear, honest review of what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next.

From strategic leadership and inclusive practice to working with families and evaluating impact, each section helps you unpick the barriers behind absence and shape a culture of belonging and high expectations. Built around Ofsted’s 2025 toolkit and the DfE’s Working Together to Improve Attendance guidance, it gives you confidence that your approach is robust and responsive.
