Attend & Achieve School Attendance Our Attendance Policy clearly and comprehensively explains the attendance expectations we have of all pupils. Our school attendance target is for every pupil to have an attendance figure of 96% and above. With this in mind we monitor attendance carefully and offer a range of support when required. Our School Day Arriving at school – drop off and go School gates are open for children to enter between 8.30 and 8.40. All children make their way quickly to class for registration and to make dinner choices for the day if required. Parents and carers are respectfully requested to park away from school, or to walk. If using the car is unavoidable, please ‘drop off and go’ using the one-way system at the front of school to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Should you have any messages for class teachers, please share them via Class-Dojo. It is our policy that parking in the school grounds is strictly for staff only. Parents are not permitted to use the school car park during the school day for drop off or collection however may park when collecting children from after school clubs. Leaving School Part of our responsibility is to ensure that children leaving school do so safely and with a recognisable adult. Should arrangements for collection change please contact the school office who will be able to inform gate staff. In order to help us safely and effectively manage this process, we ask that parents wait a short distance from the collection gate, maintain social distancing and be mindful of using appropriate language. This will allow teachers to bring children to the gate and have a clear view of waiting parents. Please wait for your child’s class teacher to send your child to you, rather than move toward the remainder of the class, which makes it difficult for us to manage children and identify waiting parents. If you would like to allow your child to walk home independently (year 6 only), please contact your child’s teacher. Registration This process is undertaken electronically. The procedure for daily school registration is outlined below. The register is a legal document and may be used as evidence in a Court of Law.
We recommend that all parents read Warwickshire’s guidance for parents regarding school attendance found at: School attendance guidance for parents/carers – Warwickshire County Council. The document explains the importance of consistently good attendance and how good attendance will benefit your child's learning and social development. It also explains the effects of poor attendance and the circumstances for which authorised absence may be granted. All absences must be reported to the school office on each day of your child’s absence. There are various ways to do this:
CLASS DOJO MUST NOT BE USED TO REPORT PUPIL ABSENCE We regularly remind our school community that term-time absences other than those for illness are not authorised by school and of the procedures to be followed to request Leave of Absence. It is only the Headteacher who can authorise such absences. Will I be contacted if my child is absent? The school operates a first day response to absences and will text you if we have not heard from you; this is because we believe it is our responsibility to ensure your child's safety as well as to encourage their regular school attendance. It is parental responsibility to contact school on each day of absence to provide a specific reason for a child’s absence. How to help your child arrive at school on time.
