Every week, each class earns points for attendance. The points earn rewards. The winning class looks after the trophy for a week. Our target for good attendance is 96%. Please help us to meet our target by ensuring that your children attend school everyday. Thank you for your support in ensuring your child attends school regularly and on time.
If there is anything that school can do to support you with your child's attendance, please let us know. Your child is missing between 4 6 weeks of school over the year and is at risk of underachieving. Your child is classed as a persistent absentee. We will be working with you to help improve your child's attendance.
If there is anything that school can do to support you, please let us know.
