Attendance matters. Coming to school on time, every day is vital to achieving the best possible outcomes as well as learning good habits which will benefit everyone in the future.

Every week the academy gets together to look at how each class is getting on with attendance. It is the regular opportunity to remind pupils of the importance of punctuality and coming to school “every single day” as we like to say together.

Every class attendance is shared each week. If the class meets the Academy’s target attendance, they earn a ‘gold star’. Once the required amount of gold stars is achieved, the class earns a Friday breaktime treat!

Each week, our attendance teddy is given to the class or classes with the highest attendance. Teddy sits at the front of the class all week, helping pupils learn. Every day, at lights down story time, Teddy is cuddled by a pupil who has had a particularly great day!

Each week an Attendance HERO (Here Everyday Ready On Time) is chosen.

This could be because they’ve achieved 100% attendance that week, or their time in school has increased or they’ve made a special effort to come into school on time.
