Attendance and punctuality
A big thank you to all our families who take attendance and punctuality seriously. We are really grateful to you for getting your child in on time so that they can learn as much as they possibly can. Breakfast club opens every weekday from 7.45am. School doors open at 08.30am and children start learning in class from 8.30am.
Our target for whole school attendance is 96%.
Every child has the right to attend school every day. Casual attendance and frequent absence really has a detrimental effect on children’s education and emotional development. At Waynflete Infants’ School everyone has their part to play in ensuring that all children attend regularly.
We want our school to have the best attendance and punctuality so that our children can learn as much as they possibly can.
This is achieved by:
Parent/Carer roles:
Absence Reporting
child friendly advice
The School’s Responsibilities:
- Inform parents/carers of their responsibilities for maintaining regular attendance for their child.
- Inform parents/carers every half term of their child’s attendance using the traffic light system.
- 97-100% – Outstanding – GREEN LIGHT
- 94-96.6% – Satisfactory – AMBER LIGHT
- 93.9% and below – Unsatisfactory – RED LIGHT
- We aim to support any family in difficulties or crisis.
- Refer families requiring support to the Attendance Team or the Education Welfare Officer as necessary.
- We value and reward good attendance half termly, termly and annually through certificates, stickers and rewards.
- We will request an explanation from parents/carers if your child is regularly late for school, Parents/carers will be invited into school to discuss this concern with the Headteacher , in the hope of resolving the problem.
- As a last resort persistent absence/unauthorised absence will be reported to the local authority and a fine may be issued.
Research shows that the closer a school and family work together the more likely a child will succeed.
