YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REALLY MATTERS - autumn term 2, 20254 November 2025 (by admin) |
We say it regularly because it's VITAL to your child's future opportunities...GOOD to VERY GOOD, to EXCELLENT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE!
REMINDER
We are currently getting lots of requests from parents for extended leave during term time. Please be aware that periods of extended leave will not be authorised during term time - if you take your child out of school for extended leave then you will be fined by the Education Legal Team.
It is vital that your child is in school every day and on time - a reminder that the school gates close at 8:45 each day (15-minute window of opportunity to get your child safely into school). Even a small amount of time missed can have a huge impact on your child's development and could lead to them falling significantly behind their peers.
We have several rewards in place for good attendance...initiatives include:
- The introduction of a 'golden time' activity afternoon for the class with the best weekly attendance
- Termly prize draw for each key stage for all children with over 96% attendance for that term. Prizes will be £50 vouchers for a family activity such as bowling or the cinema. THE CHILDREN LOVE this VERY SPECIAL ATTENDANCE REWARD EVENT!
