Attendance
This session attendance has been a huge barrier to children’s learning and as a result, we have had our lowest attendance figures in eight years.
We would like to ask Parents/Carers to ensure that their children come to school everyday and that you inform either the absence line or the school of any reason why your child is not at school.
As a result of our poor attendance figures, children who are not in school or who are frequently late are not achieving their full potential and this is affecting the overall attainment for the school as well as your child.
Furthermore, not coming to school can lead to social issues for children as friendships can fall apart as children do not know when their friend will next be in school and so they move friendships.
Furthermore, children are at times staying off school as a result of an issue within the community or due to arguments / cyber bullying over social media and gaming devices. Although this happens when the children are not in our care, these issues / incidents inevitably are brought into school and it can take a considerable time to resolve these.
We would like to ask Parents/Carers for your support with ensuring that you are checking your child’s social media accounts and that you try to resolve community issues with your child and taking appropriate action as a result. This will help to ensure that all children have a positive start to their day and that they are learning about the responsible use of social media and appropriate conduct within the community
