Attendance News
Attendance is taken very seriously at Burley Woodhead Primary School and we are working hard to help students achieve 100% attendance. We believe that;
- Regular attendance promotes the effective and continuous learning for all children.
- Regular attendance promotes positive friendships and well-being.
- Regular attendance establishes life long traits of good attendance and punctuality.
We all have a shared responsibility to ensure that each child does not get left behind due to persistent absence.
As a school we seek to:
- Promote good attendance and reduce absence, including persistent absence;
- Ensure every pupil has access to full-time education to which they are entitled; and,
- act early in order to address patterns of absence.
As parents and carers it is expected that:
- all children of compulsory school age, who are registered at school will attend regularly.
As pupils it is expected that:
- All children will be punctual to their lessons.
Our school attendance rate is currently 98.4% Congratulations to our current attendance Champions in Year Four - who had a 99% attendance rate in the 2019 Autumn term. |
