Attendance

Haytor View Community Primary School is committed to providing a full and quality educational experience for all pupils. We believe that if pupils are to benefit from education, good attendance is crucial. As a school we do all that we can to ensure maximum attendance for all pupils. Any difficulties that prevent full attendance are identified and addressed as speedily as possible.

It is the policy of our school to celebrate achievement. Attendance is a critical factor to a productive and successful school career. Our school will actively promote and encourage 100 per cent attendance for all our pupils.

Our school will give a high priority to conveying to parents and pupils the importance of regular and punctual attendance. We recognise that parents have a vital role to play and we aim to establish strong home-school links and communication systems, which can be utilised whenever there is concern about attendance.

If there are difficulties which affect a pupil’s attendance we will strive to work in partnership with parents and pupils to resolve those problems as quickly and efficiently as possible. We will adopt a clearly focused approach aimed at returning the pupil to full attendance at all times.

It is the responsibility of the whole school community to promote regular attendance at school.
