Attendance
Chattenden Primary School promotes positive attendance and punctuality at school. This remains a high priority for the safety and wellbeing of all of our pupils & staff. It is essential for all pupils to attend school regularly and on time and to avoid any unnecessary absence. Any loss of time at school can adversely affect a child’s attainment and wellbeing. All pupils benefit from regular school attendance.
As a school we will do all that we can to encourage parents/carers to ensure that the children in their care achieve maximum possible attendance. Any problems that may prevent regular attendance will be identified and acted upon promptly.
At Chattenden, we believe it is important to recognise & celebrate good attendance and punctuality which are extremely important life skills. We celebrate attendance in the following ways:
- Weekly Attendance Prize - the class with the best attendance & punctuality for that week are awarded with an attendance bear during the weekly celebration assembly.
- Individual reward for full term 100% attendance - certificates will be awarded to these children in a Celebration of Attendance Assembly.
- Termly Attendance Raffle – children with attendance above 96% are entered into our raffle to win various prizes including zoo vouchers, book tokens, vouchers for various days out and other great prizes.
