Attendance
Excellent attendance and punctuality is key to children making progress at school so that they meet expected attainment levels and can achieve their full potential; missing lessons leaves children vulnerable to falling behind. Children attending school every day:
- make better progress, both socially and academically;
- find routines, school work and friendships easier to manage;
- find learning more satisfying;
- enjoy a successful transition between primary and secondary school;
- progress to further and higher education;
- secure training and employment;
- are safe whilst they are not in the care of their parents/carers.
Alban Wood Primary School is committed to all children having access to and receiving a good education. Alban Wood Primary School recognises that this is a major contributory factor to children achieving the best possible outcomes, raising their aspirations and empowering them to have choices that will have a positive impact upon their future lives.
The responsibility of parents/carers is to ensure their children go to school and are ready to start the school day is central to the success of your child. Partnership working is key with parents/carers, schools and agencies working together to ensure all children receive an appropriate education suitable to their needs.
