Four-year-olds put in truancy league tables in overhaul of system amid fears youngsters are developing bad habits
- Four-year-olds put in truancy league tables in overhaul of system amid fears children are developing bad habits
- Government advice: ‘If in doubt, send them to school’
- Term-time holidays to be allowed only in ‘exceptional circumstances’

Children should be sent to school when suffering from a cold because too many pupils take days off when they just have a ‘sniffle’, the Government said today.
The advice comes as part of an overhaul of school leagues tables to monitor the attendance records of children as young as four.
Education Secretary Michael Gove ordered an expert adviser to look into reforms amid fears that many youngsters are developing bad habits.
Charlie Taylor, the Government’s behaviour tsar, warned that ‘a lot of the patterns of poor attendance start very early on’.
The bad habit of truancy has to be stamped out at an early age before it develops, says a government tsar
He said primary schools must ‘get stuck in earlier’ and tackle the problem at reception level, which is for four and five-year-olds.
They should start ‘working out which of the parents are beginning to slip into bad habits’ as soon as possible, he added.
However, there will be no penalties for absence from school at reception level, as attendance is not compulsory until the term after a child turns five.
Mr Taylor hopes the inclusion of the data will expose primary schools that fail to challenge pupils who regularly don’t turn up because they suffer from ‘a bit of a sniffle’.
He said: ‘Often parents feel that they’re being good parents by keeping their child off school but actually sometimes they can be a bit trigger-happy.’
While stressing that children should be kept off for ‘something that’s really serious’, he added: ‘I think it’s about, “If in doubt, send them to school”.’
The move comes amid a general clampdown on term-time holidays, with primary and secondary head teachers being told to allow them only in ‘exceptional circumstances’.
Mr Taylor, who is head of The Willows, a special school in West London, spoke out as he published a report on attendance, commissioned by Education Secretary Michael Gove after last summer’s riots.
At present, primary schools collect data for the Government on authorised and unauthorised absence for pupils from Year One (ages five to six) onwards.
However, the Government has accepted Mr Taylor’s recommendation for extra data on absence levels for reception classes to be collected from 2013.
The warning on school truancy comes from Charlie Taylor, the new government advisor on behaviour
Mr Taylor also stressed that patterns of truancy can begin even earlier, in nursery class, which is for three and four-year-olds, although absence figures at this level will not yet be included in league tables.
He said: ‘When we think about attendance and truancy, people think of 15-year-olds bunking off school and smoking in the town centre. But actually what we’ve discovered is that the children who end up playing traditional “truant” are children who had very poor patterns of behaviour very early on.’
He added that the best primary schools tackled the problem ‘incredibly aggressively’, citing one in South London, that ‘very harshly’ refuses to admit nursery children who arrive late. It has up to 97 per cent attendance levels across the school.

The mile-high engagement club: Boyfriend proposes to girlfriend on aeroplane using the PA system
By Daily Mail Reporter

e and passion.
Never mind the mile-high club, this student decided to take it to the next level and join the mile-high engagement club.
Desperate to make a lasting impression, Derek Walker had agonised over how he was going to propose to his girlfriend Amanda Hallsted.
The 23-year-old has now become something of an internet sensation after he popped the question using a public address system on an aeroplane.

A delighted Amanda and Derek celebrate their engagement on a Delta Air Lines plane from Utah to Arizona
Thankfully, it was accepted and a video of the proposal on a Delta Air Lines plane from Utah to Arizona has been posted on YouTube.
It was actually Derek’s mother who suggested he pop the question when the family, joined by Amanda, went on holiday.
Intrigued by the idea he contacted the airline before the flight but was told it was entirely up to the crew on the day.
And he was pleasantly surprised when he got an enthusiastic yes.
Derek’s younger brother Justin, 16, immediately offered to play a leading role and moments before take-off pretended to take a dare, in front of Amanda, to do a funny voice over the public address system.
With their mother filming, Justin got hold of the intercom and turned the prank into a proposal on behalf of Derek.

Impersonating a voice over for a movie trailer, he said: ‘In a world where one man dares to be compassionate, this June, witness the story of love, desire and passion.’
Amanda, in hysterics because she can’t believe the crew have allowed him to do it, quickly realises what is happening after the next sentence.
‘Amanda Hallsted, will you marry Derek Walker?’ Derek immediately drops to his knees and pops the ring on her finger.
‘I couldn’t even believe it. And all these people are staring at me, and I just, it felt like I was in a dream. It was crazy,’ Amanda told ABC.
The couple who have now been married for nearly two years live in New York. Amanda works at a design firm and Mr Walker is studying for a graduate degree.
