Attendance Media Campaign
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Derby Attendance Media Campaign. The ‘Unmissable’ campaign provides all schools with a toolkit to support their work in engaging positively with families around attendance.
The campaign has been developed with young people from across the city and explores their thoughts and feelings on what makes school brilliant.
You can access all the materials, including posters and animated videos for social media channels via the Derby Direction website: https://derbydirection.org.uk/unmissable/
