Our attendance data is looking great so far this year – thank you to all of you who are respecting new guidelines around avoiding term-time absence, which is having a big impact on our attendance and therefore on your child’s learning. The table below lists attendance this year up until 22.11.13 (final column), which you can compare with the same period last year, and the overall figures for the whole school year.
Don’t forget that each row for last year and this year is a different group of children, so you might want to compare Year 1 last year (95.8% for this period) with Year 2 this year (97.7%) – a great improvement for the same children (and parents / carers) here!

Attendance data is something which Ofsted and other educational bodies look closely at. For example, Fischer Family Trust reports on attendance by breaking down figures for different groups in school. They report, for example:
- children who attain well at Moortown have better attendance figures than similar children nationally
- most ethnic groups (but not all) have better attendance than the same groups nationally
- boys and girls have the same attendance data at Moortown
Once again: thank you to all parents / carers who are trying hard to maintain good attendance for their child.
