Supporting children to attend school.

National attendance figures in primary and secondary schools have been impacted by Covid-19 and children’s poor mental health. According to the Department for Education, school attendance in England dropped to as low as 86% in the autumn term of 2020, with many children struggling to attend school due to the pandemic.

School can have a negative impact on a child’s mental health. And equally, children’s poor mental health can also have a significant impact on their attendance, which puts more pressure on the child and their family.

Many of our students experience anxiety and social anxiety, which can make it difficult for them to attend school regularly. Social anxiety can cause children to feel overwhelmed and anxious in social situations, leading to increased absenteeism.

At Sowing Seeds Tuition, we understand the unique challenges that children, often with neurodiverse needs, face in mainstream school. We provide personalised tuition to ensure that each receives the right type of specialised support they need to achieve their full potential. Our approach is to prioritise their wellbeing and teach them in a way that works for them, taking into account their individual needs and learning styles with no pressure.

One of the key benefits of personalised tuition at Sowing Seeds Tuition is that we can provide children with the support they need to overcome their anxiety and social anxiety. Our qualified teachers work closely with each child, providing them with a safe and supportive environment in which to learn. We focus on building their confidence, helping them to develop the skills they need to manage and/or overcome their anxiety and succeed in their studies.

By prioritising children’s wellbeing and teaching them in a way that works for them, we can help to improve their attendance at school or reintegrate them into the right type of education setting, including learning with us for up to 18 hours a week. Children who feel supported and valued are more likely to attend school regularly, leading to improved academic performance and better long-term outcomes.
