Persistent disengagement and absence have become the education challenge of our generation. The sheer complexity of the problem can leave leaders feeling either defeated or trapped in the paralysis of analysis. Making School Unmissable brings clarity to the conversation. It draws the data together, reframes the purpose of education and offers a persuasive framework for restoring the senses of belonging and adventure that young people crave. Most importantly, it moves beyond diagnosis and into action – giving school leaders tangible strategies to make attending school both compelling and joyful.
