The Wilson Primary School

Attendance

Belonging but missing out

 We understand how important it is for our children to attend school every day. It creates a stable and predictable routine that enables children to feel safe and secure; children who feel safe learn more readily. 

Our school is a community and when children miss school, they miss out. We want every child to thrive and attendance plays a crucial role in each child fulfilling their potential.

We work closely with our families to ensure that any concerns around attendance are dealt with promptly and where needed sensitively. 

Attendance Support Workers work incredibly closely with senior staff to ensure a community led approach. 

Our attendance policy sets out our expectations around attendance and how we deal with absences.
