The meeting began with a presentation on persistent absence in Islington secondary schools, which the Committee is scrutinising. Members noted the report and will decide at a later date whether to invite headteachers from schools with high and low absence rates to speak to the Committee. There was also discussion of Islington's headline provisional school results and the SEND Framework and Transitions Update. Members noted both reports, although some requested additional information for future reports. Finally, the Committee considered the Quarter 4 Performance Report and noted the Islington Young People's Drug and Alcohol Service (IYPDAS) data.
