The DfE classes 'Good' attendance as >96%

You can support regular school attendance by:

  • Making sure your child leaves for school early enough to arrive at school on time
  • Supporting and encouraging your child by attending parent’s evenings and other events
  • Contacting the school to discuss any concerns regarding your child’s attendance
  • Working in partnership with us to resolve any issues that are impacting on your child’s attendance
  • Making any medical appointments outside of school hours whenever possible
  • Not taking your child out of school for holidays in term time or for other unnecessary reasons

Rewarding good attendance:

Each week the class with the highest percentage attendance overall gets 5 minutes extra playtime and 10 whole class dojos. All other classes over 96% also get 10 whole class dojos. We like to see as many classes as possible over 96%. Our highest so far is 9 out of 12 classes!
