Attendance

Attendance

From September 2019, the school has had ambitious targets to improve attendance, both for the whole school and for specific groups (SEN and disadvantaged children).

Measures have included:

• Review of attendance policy
• Higher expectations of attendance
• Recognition and celebration of good attendance for classes and individuals
• Investigation of reasons for poor attendance
• Support for families whose children have poor attendance
• Support and advice from LCC attendance officers
• Support and advice from the school nurse

As a result, whole school attendance has improved as follows:

 

Autumn 2019: 93%

Spring 2020: 96%

Autumn 2020: 97%

 

SEND children:

 

Autumn 2019: 93%

Spring 2020: 94%

Autumn 2020: 98%

 

Disadvantaged children:

 

Autumn 2019: 90%

Spring 2020: 92%

Autumn 2020: 98%

 

Current attendance is well above national averages.
