Cavendish Primary School

Current Attendance in School 2019-2020

Attendance

As you may be aware we have launched a couple of new initiatives at the start of the spring term last academic year to help support parents/carers with their child’s attendance including;

  • Termly Attendance challenge
  • Termly Attendance certificates and prizes for children with good attendance
  • Regular raffles with prizes for 100% attendance
  • Regularly informing parents/carers of their child’s attendance
  • Drop in sessions to discuss attendance concerns and how the school can support
  • Attendance monitoring with the Education Safeguarding Team to ensure individual family’s attendance improves and less children are classed as persistently absent
  • Rigorously implementing our term time holiday policy including fines for all term time holidays

The impact of this has been:
