Attendance
2023-24 Excellent Attenders - Rewards and Prizes
The link between attendance and achievement is clear. It is vitally important that your child spends as much time in school as possible. In our school children who reach our attendance target achieve better than those who don’t. We use a range of strategies to support high levels of attendance.
If your child is absent from school because of an illness, we ask that you phone the school office as early as possible on each day of illness.
In the Autumn, Spring and Summer Terms we also promote attendance through a special 'Attendance Week'. Lots of awards and celebrations happen in this week!
