Attendance
Our Traffic Light System
We are continually trying to improve pupil attendance to ensure all pupils are able to take advantage of the learning experiences available to them. With this in mind, we have introduced ‘The Traffic Light Initiative’.
Every term all parents will receive a letter informing them which traffic light zone their child falls into and their attendance record.
- Green Zone indicates your child has achieved between 95% - 100% attendance for the term.
- Amber Zone indicates attendance between 85% - 94%
- Red Zone indicates attendance of below 84%.
In addition we will report class attendance levels in the weekly newsletter and reward children termly with badges for 100% attendance; Children who reach 100% attendance for the full academic year will receive a gift voucher in recognition of their achievement.
Registration
School registers are marked at the start of the morning and afternoon sessions.
The school doors open to receive children at 8:40am, the school day begins at 8:55am.
To encourage punctuality we are required to mark, as late, those who arrive after 8:55am as late.
Anyone arriving after 9:15am will be marked as unauthorised.
If you're child is ill, Parents are requested to inform the school on the first day of their absence via one of the following ways:
-
Telephone the Office on 01204 333 642
-
Complete the Absence Request Form via the website
-
Complete Absence Notification via MCAS
-
Message Mrs J Wall via Dojo
If we do not know the reason for absence, your child will be marked as unauthorised.
