Attendance

We view regular attendance as an essential part of a child’s academic and social success. The school seeks to ensure that all pupils receive a full-time education which maximises opportunities for each learner to realise their true potential in an aspiring, caring environment. All staff work with pupils and their families to ensure each pupil attends school regularly and punctually.

We can help with advice and support if you are experiencing any barriers to good attendance and punctuality.

Our schools target for attendance is 96%. This is for the whole school and for every pupil. We have a system of incentives and rewards which acknowledges the efforts of our learners for their good attendance: trophies awarded on a weekly basis for whole class attendance; half-termly and termly rewards; certificates and other rewards for all children with 100% attendance.

Punctuality

Punctuality is important in the education of your child. If your child is persistently late then they are missing the start of lessons which may have a negative impact on their learning, confidence and self-esteem.

Children are invited into school at 08:45am. Registration takes place at 08:55am.

Please inform the school if your child is going to be unavoidably late.
