Our school is a great place to come and learn! Our aim is for the whole school to have an attendance rate of 96% or above. To encourage excellent attendance children are awarded each week with a prize if their year group has the highest attendance. Termly certificates and prizes are awarded to children who have achieved 100% attendance for that term. Every term is a new start for the children to achieve 100% which means that even if a child has been absent the previous term they can still receive a certificate and award! At the end of the school year, any child who has had a full year's 100% attendance, will receive a 'special' certificate and voucher. Being on time for school is also an important part of a child's education. School runs a Breakfast Club which gives our children a good start to the day and ensures that they are on time for school. Please see policy below relating to attendance and punctuality.
