SPOTLIGHTING ATTENDANCE issues11 November 2021 (by admin) |
On the school safeguarding horizon agenda, we are currently looking at statistics of all children and their ATTENDANCE. It's IMPORTANT you get the message that GOOD ATTENDANCE impacts significantly on the future opportunities of your child.
You'll read an important section in the weekly 'sway newsletter' dedicated to ATTENDANCE issues. Coming your way very soon...
Note that from next week, we will send additional letters to all parents if a child's attendance drops below 90% - the government, the authority and St. Bernard's school acknowledge that this would be a cause for attendance concern and we want to KEEP YOU FULLY in the ATTENDANCE PICTURE concerning your child. On the letter you'll see your child's current attendance - remember that lost time equals lost learning!
It's about making sure you are all fully aware that SCHOOL ATTENDANCE MATTERS.
Punctuality and ATTENDANCE matters!
Please note, we are fully aware that there are often genuine reasons for school absence (medical & long-term health issues, covid-19 isolation etc.). It's about working in partnership and keeping us FULLY in the picture.
Thank you for your cooperation.
