    WEEKLY ATTENDANCE NEWS - it really MATTERS!

    18 September 2023 (by admin)

    It sounds an obvious thing to say but YOUR CHILD'S ATTENDANCE MATTERS! Aim for 100%! We understand of course that there are times that your child's attendance is affected by genuine illness - just keep us informed accordingly.

    A low/poor individual attendance significantly IMPACTS on your child's education and social/emotional intelligence and wellbeing - GOOD SCHOOL ATTENDANCE is SO IMPORTANT!
    Whole school attendance for last week was 95.8% 
     
    The YEAR GROUP attendance EXTRA BREAK will be our YEAR 2 STARS! - combined approx 99.6% weekly attendance (very good effort Y2!). EXTRA BREAK for these classes/year groups - YIPPEE!
    Don't forget to remind your teaching staff children - EXTRA BREAK beckons for our YEAR 2 children.
    WE SAY IT REGULARLY...
    If your child is absent from school for unauthorised periods of time, expect us to call and visit. Of course we fully understand there are genuine reasons for school pupil absence but if we are not kept fully informed, school will act accordingly. If there is concern about your child's attendance, the Education Legal Team involve themselves - the ELT work closely with St. Bernard's monitoring pupil attendance. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR CHILD because GOOD ATTENDANCE MATTERS. EVERY WEEK WE SAY IT...because it DOES MATTER!
    Help us to HELP your child...GOOD SCHOOL ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
