Home / Parents / School Attendance / Our Approach To Good Attendance

Our Approach To Good Attendance

As a school we make our expectations clear and raise the profile of attendance for children, parents/carers, staff and Governors by:

  • Presenting a clear and coherent whole school attendance policy
  • Having a designating member of staff to lead on attendance issues – Mrs Davies -Inclusion Manager
  • Outlining our expectations of parents/carers and their responsibilities for attendance in the school prospectus and at admission meetings, giving a clear message on the law, times of school day and procedures in case of absence

We ensure effective communication between school and home by:

  • Promptly notifying parents/carers of any absence
  • Sending standard letters with response slips
  • Sending home attendance reports to parents/carers each half term to keep them informed
  • Monitoring children with attendance difficulties and meet with parents/carers if there is cause for concern

We achieve effective communication in school by:

  • Having clear two-way communication systems between class teachers and the Inclusion Manager who is responsible for school attendance
  • Promptly conveying concerns and responses to all appropriate staff
  • Senior management regularly reviewing attendance
  • All staff members contribute to improving and maintaining student attendance and take ownership of attendance as a whole school responsibility
