Every day counts

Regular attendance helps children learn, belong, build friendships and reach their full potential. We want every child to attend school every day, on time , whenever possible. 

Being here makes a difference

We aspire for all pupils to achieve 100% attendance where possible. The policy notes that children attending at least 96% of the time - around 184 days in a school year - are more likely to achieve good results.

Attendance at a glance

Small amounts of absence add up

Our attendance team uses attendance information to spot patterns early. The thresholds below are indicative; professional judgement and individual circumstances are considered in every class.

How we work together

Support comes first

When attendance becomes a concern, we aim to understand what is happening, remove barriers and work with families before formal enforcement is considered.
