Attendance

ATTEND TO ATTAIN

Research shows that pupils who attend our school regularly and on time are likely to be more successful. With this in mind we strive to support and help children and their families in achieving good attendance.  If you would like any support or guidance with your child’s attendance, please contact school so that we can assist you further.

If your child is unwell

Please report all absences to the School Attendance Office Miss Mossman ( 0151 477 8490). Please refer to our Attendance Policy for full details of our Attendance procedures

Attendance Marathon

Periodically we hold Attendance Marathons. These are two week snapshots where pupils are encouraged to achieve 100% attendance. A range of prizes are made available for the top achieving classes.

Punctuality

Punctuality is an important part of your child’s routine; it is crucial for you and your child to understand that arriving late to school impacts learning for your child and their peers.  Establishing a good routine will prepare your child for secondary education.  We can offer you support and guidance if you are experiencing difficulties please contact school and we will be happy to offer our support.
