Key Info


Attendance

Dear Parents and Carers,

School gives your child a wide range of experiences in the form of academic lessons, educational trips and clubs. The more your child is in school the more they increase their opportunity to fulfil their potential. School can also help your child’s social skills, such as making and keeping friendships. A regular and punctual attendance pattern will help your child when they enter the world of work.

Parent/Carer Responsibilities
The links between attendance and attainment are clear. Regular attendance means your child can make the most of their education, improving their chances in adult life. In order to achieve their full potential we expect all Wombridge pupils to maintain attendance of at least 97%.


Parents/Carers can help by:
 Ensuring contact information (addresses and telephone numbers) is kept up to date

 Ensuring your child arrives at school on time (before 8.40am), properly dressed and prepared for learning.

 Contacting the  Office on (01952 388040) on the first and any subsequent days of
absence stating the reason for the absence and when your child is likely to return.

 Where possible, providing medical evidence for any illness – this will be required if your child’s attendance falls below 90%

 Where possible, please try to arrange medical and dental appointments out of school hours. If this is not possible, your child should only be out of school for the minimum amount of time necessary for the appointment.

Top Tips for Improving Punctuality

WHY IS PUNCTUALITY SO IMPORTANT?

It’s a GREAT START to the day, putting your child in a positive frame of mind to make the most of the day’s learning and activities.

Punctuality is linked to good attendance, and as we know, good attenders have more opportunities, more support and therefore achieve more!

ALSO…

It helps your child make friends (in the playground) which leads to improved self-confidence and therefore SUCCESS

AND…

It sets your child up for their future – whether it is college, work or university, they could lose their place or lose their job if they think it’s ok to be late!

TYPES OF LATENESS

1. Late before register closes Your child is a few minutes late – but they have missed the opportunity to say hello to and play with friends. They are likely to feel unsettled and embarrassed as they start morning lessons.

2. Late after register closes This counts as an unauthorised absence and will show on your child’s attendance record. Not only has your child missed the chance to meet with their friends before school, they are likely to have missed the start of lessons and could feel unsettled, embarrassed and much less confident than their classmates as the lesson moves on.

 TOP TIPS

Get to know your child’s school timetable – work together to make sure they have everything ready the night before e.g. books, PE or uniform!

Get your child into the habit of doing their homework/reading in the evening – instead of in the morning at the breakfast table.

Make sure your child has a good bedtime routine so they get plenty of rest and don’t struggle out of bed in the morning.

Invest in a good, reliable alarm clock – make setting it part of your child’s bedtime routine.

Try to ensure your child has a good breakfast to set them up for the day.

Have a back up plan for getting your child to school in case something crops up – friends or family, perhaps neighbours who are taking their children to school anyway.

Allow lots of time for your journey.

If you are finding it difficult to get your child to school on time, talk to Miss Partridge. our Safeguarding and Inclusion Manager, and ask for help.
