Attendance

Working Towards Excellent Attendance

 

We take absence very seriously, and will be focusing on all children whose attendance falls below the National Target of 96%.

Your child needs to attend school every day, and should be in their class by 8.40am, ready for registration at 8:45am. 

Lateness causes disruption to the class, and embarrassment to the child who is late. 

You should make every effort to get your child to school, even with a minor illness.  We will always contact you if your child’s health deteriorates.  Please make sure we have at least 2 up-to-date contact numbers for you – we need to be able to call you in an emergency.

If your child is unwell enough to be absent from school, you must phone on 01483 598956, or message via the school gateway app, by 9.00 am on each and every day of absence.

We celebrate good attendance. For each week your child has 100% attendance they will receive a raffle ticket. Draws are held weekly, half termly, termly and at the end of each year when the children have the opportunity to win a book, voucher or even a bike. The class with the highest attendance each week receives Golden Time.

We monitor registers and report weekly to all parents and/or carers registered on our system regarding their child's attendance.
