Attendance
Every minute counts when it comes to attendance in school and so we work hard to promote this to our children and families.
We take a pro-active approach to encourage children to attend regularly, by:
- Termly attendance celebrated in our Friday celebration assembly and attendance badges are awarded for children who have 100% attendance or have shown improvements in their attendance.
- A 'best attendance' display in the school hall, to highlight the importance of good attendance.
- Some key attendance data shared in newsletters.
- Regular letters sent home to those with low/dropping attendance.
- Meeting with parents who are struggling to get their children in to school.
- Working closely with the Education Welfare Service to support families who might struggle to get their children to school on time, or on a regular basis.
- Working closely with the Local Authority to reduce term time holidays and irregular attendance.
Please see below a letter sent to all parents regarding Attendance.
