Attendance
At Offmore Primary school, we believe that children need to understand the value of education and the part they play in their own futures. Whilst explaining that sometimes we are all ill and can not come to school, we also give the children ownership and reason to celebrate excellent attendance. At Offmore we believe good attendance can achieve great things!
Aims
- For all children to want to attend school to be enthused and excited about the prospect.
- For all parents to fully understand the rich and exciting opportunities available at Offmore and to want their children to be part of the Offmore learning experience
- To have open and honest discussions where non-attendance is occurring
Objectives
- To have clear systems of communication between School and Home, and Home and School
- To exceed our target Attendance target of 97%.
- To have a whole school ethos that celebrates excellent attendance.
Monitoring
Attendance is monitored on a weekly basis, and focuses upon those children whose attendance has dropped below 93% and those with very good attendance.
In the event that your child’s attendance has fallen below 93%, the school will inform you that this has happened. Our pastoral lead Leah Walch will make contact to discuss how we can support you to improve your child's attendance.
