Our whole school attendance target is 96.5%. We will report attendance to parents termly. Below is information to help explain attendance percentages: 

• 95% and over: Excellent attendance
• 90 - 95%: Satisfactory attendance
• Below 90%: Poor attendance, requiring action or support. 

As well as keeping parents up-to-date with their child's attendance, we also communicate whole school attendance and class attendance in Celebration Assemblies. Pupils in the highest attending class win a trophy. The highest attending class each half-term receive extra playtime. 

At the end of the year, pupils with an annual attendance of 98% or higher are celebrated in assembly, where they will receive an award. 

Parents can support with raising the profile of attendance by: 

• Keeping absences to a minimum. 
• Only keeping their children off school for major illness or injury. 
• Arranging medical/dental appointments outside school hours. 

If you have any questions around your child's attendance, please get in contact with the school office, or speak to our Attendance Officer, Mrs Burchell.
