Working Together to Improve Attendance
There is a real national importance that children must attend school and that all absence is monitored, recorded and followed up if no viable reason is given or it is persistently impacting on a child's education and well-being.
At CWJS we will raise the profile of attendance in school by the following ways:
- Mrs Wainwright is the nominated member of the Senior Leadership Team who has been given the role of the 'School's Attendance Champion' (SAC).
- The SAC and Principal will analyse children's attendance data weekly, identifying any trends, persistent or late absences.
- Meet with the Local Authority's designated Attendance Lead to discuss individual cases and put in place intervention to improve attendance.
- Report to parents in newsletters the school's attendance data and areas to improve.
- Meet with parents to discuss their child's attendance and put in place an action plan and targets to address needs of the family.
- Report to governors and trustees the school's attendance % and any action taken to improve children's attendance.
