Attending school every day is one of the most important factors for a child's academic success. Consistent attendance isn't just about showing up; it's about building a strong foundation for learning and future achievement.

 

Learners who attend school consistently don't just get better grades - they also make better overall progress. We want to celebrate this commitment to learning, and that's why our school rewards scheme is designed to recognise and reward excellent attendance and punctuality. Learners with good attendance records can earn a spot on our special end-of-term trips and celebrations. These events are a highlight of the school year, and we want every learner to have the chance to earn their place.

 

Remember to start every day on time. We expect all learners to be in school and ready to learn by 8:25am, sharp. Please help us ensure your child is on time each morning, ready for the day ahead.

 

On the flip side, missed school days can have a major impact. Even a few days of absence can create significant gaps in learning that are incredibly difficult to close. This can hinder a child's progress and negatively affect their outcomes, especially as they get closer to their GCSE examinations. Please consider the long-term consequences of every day your child misses.

 

Last year, we were honoured to be recognised by the Fischer Family Trust Foundation (FFT) for being in the top 25% of all schools nationally for our overall attendance. We were so proud of this achievement, but this year, we want our attendance to be even better.

 

Ultimately, excellent attendance is a powerful partnership between the school and you, our parents and carers. We need your active support in making sure your child is in school every day, on time, and ready to learn. By working together, we can ensure every learner has the best possible chance to reach their full potential and thrive.
