Attendance

Attendance and Punctuality

This year our attendance target is 97%. 

We would like you to support us with achieving our target by only keeping children off school when absolutely necessary. We are aware that some children are missing school due to sickness. Please remember to keep your child warm, especially in this cold weather.

As part of our school improvement plan, we are also working on children’s punctuality. We have noticed that some children are beginning to come in later to school. Please remember that the school bell rings at 8:50am, and the children should be in line ready to start their school day at 8.55am. If you are late by 5 minutes a day this equals to 17 lessons across the year. 

If your child is arriving to school at 9am, they are missing 35 lessons a year and disturbing the learning of all the other children in the class. These are registered as unauthorised. Help us to achieve our goals, by ensuring your child attends school every day and is on time at 8:50am.
