Product reviews for Making School Unmissable

This is an essential, timely and transformative book in which Rachel Macfarlane and Paul Jenkins offer a robust, compassionate and urgently needed framework to address the challenges around school attendance and exclusion.

The authors’ articulation of why traditional arguments fail – especially the reliance on delayed gratification – is insightful and essential reading for all educators. This book is not just a book; it is a mission statement for whole-school change. It provides the language and strategic lens required to build an ethos, culture and curriculum that ensures no child risks becoming invisible to the system.

Vital and inspiring, Making School Unmissable should be required reading for anyone serious about tackling the engagement crisis and ensuring every young person thrives.
