Dear Families,

At the end of Summer 2025, our overall pupil attendance was 93.4%, slightly below the national average of 94.8%.  Around 21% of our pupils were classified as persistent absentees, meaning they missed 19 or more days during the academic year for any reason. This figure is higher than the national average and something we are committed to improving.

We know that regular attendance is vital for academic progress, social development, and long-term success. That’s why we’re working closely with families to understand the challenges and support pupils in attending school consistently.

Together, we can make a real difference. If you have concerns or need support with your child’s attendance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Miss Tolley or any member of school team. 

​

 

 

As a school, we offer many supportive measures to improve attendance. These staff members can support you directly with attendance:

Mr Potato Head Challenge

How it Works:

​

Each class has its own Mr Potato Head.

Each week, the attendance of each class is tracked, if it meets the set criteria (e.g., 96% or higher, improved attendance from previous week or reduced number of late marks) the winning class will earn an accessory or part to add to their Mr Potato Head.  

​

Rewards:

​

Completing the Mr Potato Head can lead to further rewards for the class, such as extra playtime, hot chocolate and a biscuit or other fun activities.

Class 14 Celebrate Movie Afternoon for Outstanding Attendance!
IMG_0405.JPG

Class 14 enjoyed a fantastic movie afternoon this week after winning the Mr/Mrs Potato Head Attendance Challenge for having the best attendance across KS2!

Throughout the term, pupils worked hard to attend school every day, earning pieces to build their class Potato Head. Their commitment and teamwork paid off, with Class 14 completing their character first.

The challenge has been a great way to motivate and encourage children’s attendance each week, helping them develop positive routines and a strong sense of class pride.

Congratulations to Class 14—your dedication to being in school and ready to learn really shines. Enjoy your well‑deserved reward! 🍿🎬
