Attendance Protocol
Koinonia Federation recognises that positive behaviour and good attendance are central to raising standards of pupil attainment. Regular school attendance is essential for pupils to get the most out of their school experience, including their attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances.
For all children to gain the greatest benefit from their education, it is vital that they attend school regularly and on time, every day that the school is open unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. Any absence affects the pattern of a child’s schooling and regular absence will seriously affect their learning.
Our Attendance Policy aims to raise and maintain levels of attendance by:
- Promoting a positive and welcoming atmosphere in which pupils feel safe, secure and valued.
- Raising awareness of the importance of good attendance and punctuality.
- Ensuring that attendance is monitored effectively, in line with Government and Local Authority requirements, and reasons for absences are recorded promptly and consistently.
- Working in partnership with parents/carers so that they are aware of their own child’s attendance record and the impact that this is having on their education.
If you are experiencing difficulties in ensuring your child’s regular school attendance, communicate with the schools Attendance Lead, who will arrange to meet with you to address supportive measures to improve school attendance.
