A timely article from Association of School and College Leaders' Margaret Mulholland in Tes this week. https://lnkd.in/e6dXdxji At Academy21 we wholly agree that a ‘nuanced understanding of attendance is needed; one that recognises and values participation and effort regardless of where learning takes place.’ At the heart of this, as Margaret writes, is the mission to remove ‘barriers to re-engagement' and decisions that are ‘inclusive, collaborative and reflective of the diverse needs of our student population’. We have a huge opportunity to make this happen, including through fully recognising the appropriate use of remote learning, and supporting the brilliant work of schools across the country.

Have you ever wondered how an online AP curriculum works? There is no one-size-fits-all approach to education, which is part of the reason why alternative provision is so important to begin with. This also means that even within the AP sphere, curriculums can vary. 🔗Read more in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eSJZvSNt #Academy21 #OnlineAP #AlternativeProvision
