Attendance

At St Augustine’s CE Primary School, we recognise that regular school attendance is the key to enabling children to maximise the educational opportunities available to them. Regular attendance and punctuality are not only legal requirements, but are essential for children to make good progress both academically and socially. There is a clear link between good attainment and good attendance. Pupils who attend school regularly also find it much easier to form positive relationships with other children and with adults and to develop effective social skills. We therefore aim to encourage all pupils to achieve their full potential through regular attendance and punctuality

We recognise that attendance is a matter for the whole school community and we will work with pupils and their families to identify the reasons for poor attendance and to try to resolve any difficulties to ensure excellent attendance and punctuality.
