At our school, we believe that excellent attendance is the foundation of success, belonging, and personal growth. Every day in school is an opportunity to learn, achieve, and strengthen the relationships that help us thrive.

Guided by our values of Respect, Independence, Community, and Kindness, we are committed to creating a culture where every pupil attends regularly, arrives ready to learn, and feels valued as an important member of our school family.  Together, we strive for excellent attendance so that every child can achieve their full potential, build positive relationships, and make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow socially, emotionally and academically.

As part of our responsibility to safeguard and support every child, schools are legally required to monitor, record, and track pupil attendance. Regular attendance checks help us ensure that children are safe, receiving their entitlement to education, and accessing the learning opportunities they need to succeed. By carefully monitoring attendance, we can identify concerns early, work in partnership with families, and provide appropriate support to help every pupil attend school regularly and achieve their full potential.

Below are some useful tables to help you better understand how children’s punctuality and attendance affects learning over time.
