Being at school is a very important part of any child’s life. It enables them to learn, to make friends, to gain important knowledge and to develop a variety of skills which will prepare them for adult life.
​
School and parents/carers are partners in making this a success. As parents/carers it is your legal responsibility to make sure that your child makes the most of this opportunity by attending regularly.
This year, we are working together to continue to increase our school attendance and punctuality.
At the end of autumn 2024, school attendance was 94.6% (national average is around 95.3%).
Around 11% of our pupils were persistent absentees (had 19+ days absent for any reason during the academic year), which is less than the National Average.
As a school, we offer many supportive measures to improve attendance.
These staff members can support you directly with attendance.
Remember, we also offer breakfast club from 7:30am and after school club until 5:15pm to support with childcare and arrival at school on time.
A reminder that gates are open between 8.30am and 8:50am. Anyone arriving after 8:50am will need to report to our school office.
In 2024-25 we will also continue to subsidise funding to ensure every child is offered toast on entry to school.
With the support of our families, together we will work together to improve attendance. Thank you for your continued support,
Mr D Nicholls
