Attendance
Our School Aim
We believe that the highest levels of attendance enables children to achieve and excel. Every child has a right to education and become the best that they can be. Excellent attendance is fundamental to this right being upheld. For a child to reach their full potential, a high level of school attendance and punctuality is essential.
As a fully inclusive school we are committed to meeting our responsibility with regards to school attendance through our whole-school culture and ethos that values good attendance including:
- Promoting good attendance
- Reducing absence, including persistent and severe absence
- Ensuring every pupil has access to the full-time education to which they are entitled
- Acting early to address patterns of absence
We will also support parents to perform their legal duty to ensure their children of compulsory school age attend regularly, and will promote and support punctuality in attending lessons.
