Our vision is to empower and inspire our students, parents, and carers to prioritise school attendance, actively overcome barriers, and pursue resilience. By fostering collaboration with families and offering solutions, we aim to provide all students within the Trust with the best opportunities for social mobility.”
- We expect all students to attend school – on time, fully equipped, ready to learn – every day.
- The Trust are committed to maximising the achievement and attainment of all students. There is a clear link between good attendance and educational achievement. As outlined in Department for Education guidance, the pupils with the highest attainment at the end of key stage 2 and key stage 4 have higher rates of attendance over the key stage compared to those with the lowest attainment.
- Therefore, regular, and punctual attendance is vital if students are to benefit fully from the academic, personal, and social opportunities, which are offered to them within the Trust.
- Parents/Carers are legally responsible for making sure their children attend school on time and every day.
- The Trust will ensure that school, parents, carers, and pupils work collaboratively to remove individual barriers and establish positive relationships to help build strong attendance.
- We encourage all parents and carers to read the Trust’s Secondary Attendance Policy to gain a clear understanding of our rationale, systems, processes, expectations, incentives, and procedures.
