Attendance

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are working hard to improve attendance and punctuality as poor attendance and punctuality affect children’s personal, social and academic skills.

We expect all children to arrive on time at 8.40am and attend school every day.

Children only have 190 school days in a school year and there is clear evidence that there is a link between poor school attendance/punctuality and low levels of achievement. We expect all individual pupils to achieve at least 95% attendance. We want to make sure that it is everyone’s responsibility to encourage good attendance, so we will be keeping you much more informed about how you can support this.

In our attendance leaflet you will find:

• Key information about key timings, processes and procedures.
• Information about our attendance team
• Information about our current incentive to promote good attendance

We would also like to say a big welcome to Alysha Mitchell, our full time attendance officer, who knows our school and families very well and is well qualified to support us all.
