Progress milestone

No milestone entered yet. The suggested figure is a guide, not an automatic decision.

Use the number to start a conversation, not end one. Explore the barriers behind absence, listen to the pupil and family, agree support, and review the plan. A lower milestone is not a lowered expectation—it is an honest next step.
