Childwall Recognised For Inclusive Attendance

Childwall Sports & Science Academy has achieved the Inclusive Attendance Bronze Standard, recognising a clear, student-centred approach that is inclusive by design and delivered consistently.

The award reflects a whole-school strategy shaped around students’ experiences. Barriers to attendance have been addressed through aligned provision, strong relationships, and a culture balancing high expectations with care.

External assessor Andy Mitchell praised the school’s work: “The quality of relationships is exemplary – warm, kind and, most importantly, authentic.”

Head of School Dr Thomas said: “The award recognises the collective commitment of our staff in putting students first. We’re proud of the progress we have made and focused on building even stronger outcomes for our young people.”

Student Nadi said: “I come to school because I feel supported and part of the community.” Nathan added: “I attend every day because it helps me stay on track with my learning.”

Alan McKeegan, Executive Director of Education, Secondary at LLT, added: “This recognition reflects Childwall’s inclusive culture and professional staff, showing how valuing students boosts attendance and sets a benchmark across the Trust.”
