ATTENDANCE
Please only bring children to Nursery who are 100% well.
Children attending Nursery are not of statutory school age.
Children who have regular absences can be unsettled as well as missing key elements of learning. Research shows that children who attend well at school make better progress than those who are regularly absent.
Regular Nursery attendance is important to help children settle and make friends.
Good attendance is key for academic progress and attainment and it does not matter if these absences are authorised (we know the reason) or unauthorised (no reason has been given).
We ask parents and carers to phone or email if there children cannot attend for any reason. We monitor children's attendance.
Parents and carers are responsible for ensuring their children develops the habit of regular attendance.
Above 97%. Less than 6 days absence a year: Excellent attendance! Pupils with this attendance should achieve the best attainment they can, leading to the best possible start to their education.
95% Less than 10 days absence in a year: Pupils with this attendance are likely to achieve their targets and will be well prepared for starting their educational journey.
90%. 19 days absence over the year: Pupils with this attendance are missing a month of school per year and may fall behind in Maths and Literacy; it will be difficult for them to achieve their best.
85% 29 days absence in a year: These pupils are missing 6 weeks of school a year, it will be very difficult for them to keep up and achieve their best.
80%. Pupils with this attendance are missing a day for every week of school. It will be almost impossible to keep up with learning.
