Attendance

Iver Village Junior School (IVJS) is a place where every child belongs.  We create a welcoming environment to allow all children to gain a sense of belonging and ultimately achieve academically through regular school attendance.

At IVJS we want every child to meet their potential and we know that to do this they need to be attending school regularly.  Irregular attendance is defined by the government as a child missing 10% or more of the school year, this equates to 19 days.  The government uses the term as persistently absent to describe a child who misses 19 days of school in a year.  


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.

We know that it is not always possible for a child to attend school every day as they do occasionally become ill.  As always, when we monitor attendance we will be using a common sense approach.  However, we are required to monitor attendance and act on poor attendance by following the Council’s policy.  If your child’s attendance is poor, we will meet with you and if necessary explain the Council’s policy.  

​Below we have made a flow chart to show the processes and also to show you how quickly your child could be classed as persistently absent.  
We will always work with you and try to support you if there are barriers to your child attending regularly. 

At IVJS we expect a minimum attendance of 96% over the school year for each pupil. 

What do we do to promote good attendance each week?

  • The class with the highest attendance is awarded in our Celebration Assembly!
  • Each class that achieves 96% or more will get a Movie Ticket - once you have collected 6 tickets then you are awarded a movie afternoon. 
  • Every child that is on 100% attendance on that week will be entered into the Wheel Of Fortune and has a chance of winning a book!
