Attendance
The following attendance strategy is currently in place and will be reviewed on a regular basis:
Celebration Assemblies will focus on positive achievements throughout school and highlight classes in school with excellent attendance .The class with the highest attendance each half-term will be allowed to come in non-uniform on the last day of the half-term as a reward.
Letters and texts concerning attendance are sent out as and when appropriate e.g. extended leave, medical appointments etc. Parents are kept up to date with attendance information and constantly reminded about key facts.
The school liaises closely with Bradford Council’s Educational Social Work team with particular reference to the children with Persistent Absence (less than 90% attendance), Severe Absence (less than 50% attendance), children who are identified as Missing in Education (CME) and Extended Leave cases.
