Attendance

Excellent attendance is the responsibility of the whole school community.  

For your child to gain the greatest benefit from their education they should be at school, on time, every day the school is open unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable.

Our School strives for 100% attendance for all pupils, however we appreciate that children can be ill or have rare unavoidable absences for other reasons. Therefore our overall school target is at least 96% attendance. 

All staff are made aware of how each of their roles impacts on attendance and punctuality and that every member of staff, regardless of their role, can make a difference (See Appendix C for 'Roles and Responsibilities'). All staff will receive training commensurate with their roles.

The school will listen to and support pupils and parents/carers to achieve good attendance and punctuality and will work closely with them where absence is a cause for concern.

We will report to you termly on how your son/daughter is performing in school, including what their attendance and punctuality rate is and how this relates to their attainment.

We will celebrate and reward good and improving attendance by displaying individual and class achievements and through class competitions, certificates and other events.
