With just four days left of this half-term, we still have 146 pupils who have 100% since 23 February – and that’s despite a bad case of chicken pox spreading like wildfire amongst our younger children!
For the whole year so far, there are 48 pupils with 100% – almost a quarter. In alphabetical order of surnames, well done Farhaan, Owen, Isaac, Ben, Ethan, Henry, Bella, Jack, Will, Vijay, Sam, William, Faye, Alexandra, Mia, Hibba, Byron, Lewis, Albie, Edward, Grace, Sachpreet, Isabelle, Natasha, Phoebe, Musa, Umaimah, Manya, Nico, Oliver, Aisha, Ethan, Lucas, Isabelle, Finn, Zeewa, Georgie, Alexander, Neive, Alex, Grace, Megan, Ebonnie, Albert, Archie, Jorja, Noah and Ethan!
As for each class, here are the attendance rates (with last year’s figure for the same period in brackets):
- Reception: 96.7% (96.1%) …that’s a great increase, so well done!
- Year 1: 97.3% (97.1%) …well done!
- Year 2: 96.4% (98.0%) …please help us increase this year’s figure.
- Year 3: 98.3% (97.6%) …this year’s figure is amazing – just like the class last year as Year 2.
- Year 4: 97.3% (96.7%) …another increase – great!
- Year 5: 96.1% (97.9%) …please help us increase this year’s figure.
- Year 6: 97.3% (97.0%) …well done – the fifth class to have a higher attendance rate than last year!
We’re really happy with the fact there are five classes with higher attendance rates than last year. For the whole school, our attendance rate is 97.1%. This is good, although last year was just a little better: 97.2%%.
Thank you to all parents who have tried so hard to ensure your child is happy and healthy and at school as much as they can be.
Some important news: from September 2015, attendance lower than 90% will be regarded as persistent absence. This means we would contact the local authority’s Attendance Team with regard to visiting to support and advise families where attendance is too low. This would include three children in Reception, one in Year 1, three in Year 2, three in Year 4 and one in Year 5 – eleven children in total. (Year 3 and Year 6 have no pupils where attendance is lower than 90%.)
