Attendance
Vision and Values:
At St Mary’s CE Primary School we aim to create for an environment which enables and encourages all members of the community to reach out for excellence. For our children to gain the greatest benefit from their education it is vital that they attend regularly, and your child should be at school, on time, every day the school is open unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. Obviously, we would like to see pupils as close to 100% as possible but understand that at times, we all get sick. Any absence affects the pattern of a child’s schooling and regular absence will seriously affect their learning.
Promoting and Incentivising Good Attendance:
In our academy we celebrate attendance in our collective worship with the winning class having the privilege of keeping the school mascot for the week. If any class gets 100% they get to keep the 100% trophy for the week. Children who are on our attendance watchlist have an incentive of a treat from the prize box if they attend school every day.
