Attendance
Attendance Champion - Mrs Trodden
Attendance Officer - Mrs Ward
Excellent attendance at school is essential to ensure that your child has the best chance of success. The Government expectation for attendance is a minimum of 97% and parents have a legal responsibility to ensure that their child attends regularly and on time. Anything less than 97% gives cause for concern.
There is a direct link between good attendance and a child's achievement. The more time a child spends at schoo, the more opportunity they have to access learning and achieve.
Low attendance
Laws set by the Government means that extra intervention will be put into place to support children with attendance close to or below 90%, this means that as a school we will contact to make sure you and your child are supported to improve their attendance - this could include 1:1 mentoring/group work or involvement from the local authority attendance officer. If attendance does not improve Fixed Penalty Notice action may be taken.
