Crowlands Primary School
Attendance
For children to gain the greatest benefit from their education it is vital that they attend regularly and it is the duty of our school and parents/carers to make sure that each child is at school, on time, on every day that the school is open - unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable.
At Crowlands Primary School we are aiming to achieve an attendance target in the range of 96 – 100% to meet National standards.
Helping to create a pattern of regular attendance is everybody’s responsibility – parents, pupils and all members of school staff.
At Crowlands we expect its pupils to:
- To attend regularly and on time.
- To be prepared adequately for the school day.
- To comply with the school policies and procedures.
At Crowlands we expect our parents/carers to:
- To encourage their children to attend school every day, on time.
- To contact the school on the first day of absence.
- To arrange holidays and medical appointments outside school hours.
- To regularly update emergency contact details.
At Crowlands there are several strategies in place to encourage children to attend school every day:
- Weekly class attendance is celebrated in a school assembly for both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two children and a trophy is given to the winning class.
- Several displays celebrate class attendance through the school.
- Attendance winners are shared on the school website and sent to parents/carers in the weekly newsletters.
- Termly rewards are given to children with 100% attendance and they then enter a raffle to win a prize.
- Children who achieve 100% for the whole year celebrate with an additional end of year treat and they then enter a raffle to win a prize.
- Within a year group classes compete against each other to earn a letter for every day that the class attendance is 100% to complete the slogan ‘Everyday Counts!’ The class who completes this first receives a reward.
- Traffic light system: Parent communication is sent out on the following coloured paper.
RED ZONE
All pupils whose attendance falls below 90% will be considered for legal monitoring by the Local Authority and a meeting will be held with the Assistant Headteacher of your child’s key stage.
AMBER ZONE
Those pupils who have fallen below 95% are in the Amber Zone. They are automatically monitored by the school.
