Helping Every Child Make the Most of Every School Day

Regular school attendance plays a vital role in your child’s learning, confidence and wellbeing. Being in school helps children build friendships, keep up with learning and feel part of the school community.

Our school is committed to supporting families to ensure that “Every school day counts.”

Be an Attendance HERO

We encourage all pupils to be an Attendance HERO, in line with the Government’s Every School Day Counts campaign:

• H – Here
• E – Every day
• R – Ready to learn
• O – On time

This simple message helps children understand the importance of coming to school regularly and being ready to learn.

To Encourage Good Attendance

Class Rewards (May & June)

To promote teamwork and encouragement within classes, the following monthly rewards will apply during May and June:

• Highest Attendance Class (each month):Pizza Party and PE Party
• Breakfast Bonus (each month) : Sausages, toast and juice.

Individual Rewards

• Each week, all pupils with full attendance will be entered into a weekly class raffle.
• Winners will be invited to visit the principal to select a prize from a lucky dip.
• This is our way of recognising effort and encouraging consistent attendance.        

Attendance HERO Posters

Attendance HERO posters will be displayed around the school to:

• Remind children of the HERO message
• Promote class and individual rewards
• Celebrate positive attendance in a fun and encouraging way

The Student Council from 3rd and 4th will visit classes to promote the initiative.

Supporting Families

We understand that some children may face challenges attending school regularly. Our approach is always supportive and understanding.

• If a child has frequent, unexplained or ongoing absences, parents/guardians may receive a confidential survey.
• This survey helps us understand:

Ø  Any barriers to regular attendance

Ø  How the school can best support your child and family

• Where helpful, follow‑up discussions may take place to agree supports or solutions together.

Working Together

Good attendance is a shared responsibility between home and school. By working together, we can help ensure that every child:

• Feels welcome and supported
• Has the best chance to succeed
• Benefits fully from school life

Thank you for supporting your child to be an Attendance HERO –
Here, Everyday, Ready to learn, On time!
