Attendance
Central to raising standards in education and ensuring all pupils can fulfil their potential is an assumption so widely understood that it is insufficiently stated – pupils need to attend school regularly to benefit from their education. Missing out on lessons leaves children vulnerable to falling behind. Children with poor attendance tend to achieve less in both primary and secondary school.
The government expects:
At IVJS we expect a minimum attendance of 95% over the school year for each pupil. Pupils who maintain a high attendance can expect to receive extra rewards throughout the academic year:
Each week the class with the highest attendance is awarded in our Celebration Assembly!
Each half term we reward pupils who achieve 100% school attendance with a certificate.
Each year we will be holding a prize draw for any child with 100% attendance for any 2 week period to win a BIKE!
It is no coincidence that higher attendance leads to higher academic achievement and the Department for Education expect that each pupils should achieve at least 95% school attendance. Over the last year the attendance at IVJS has increased almost 2% and we do not underestimate the impact that parental support has had in ensuring improved attendance. With your continued support we know that we can make further gains to build on these successes further.
These are figures to date:
The government expects:
- Schools and local authorities to:
- Promote good attendance and reduce absence, including persistent absence;
- Ensure every pupil has access to full-time education to which they are entitled; and,
- act early to address patterns of absence.
- Parents to perform their legal duty by ensuring their children of compulsory school age who are registered at school attend regularly.
- All pupils to be punctual to their lessons.
