A Study of Persistent Absentees and Their Families

S ummary . This paper reports the results of a survey of persistent absentees from school and their families. Four samples were selected: absentees from a secondary school, absentees from its feeding primary schools, absentees who had been referred for specialist advice because of their poor school attendance, and regular attenders. Interviews with parents and pupils showed that all three absentee samples were living in multiply disadvantaged circumstances compared with the regular attenders. The referred pupils tended to present more behaviour problems at home than pupils in the other three samples, but to be socially isolated outside the home
