ATTENDANCE

This page details the attendance information for the school including the school attendance action plan, attendance data, attendance home information and incentives.

Whole school attendance

St Peter's aims to meet an attendance target of 96+% which would be above the national average. At the end of each term we will write to parents where attendance has fallen below 95%. Often parents are aware of the reasons, which may have been unavoidable, such as for sickness. A record of attendance is also included in all pupils end of year school reports. Thank you to those parents who are helping St Peter's raise our attendance levels, which helps our children to get the most out of their educational experience.

96%+ school target

96 - 100% Well done
91 - 95% Risk of underachievement
85 - 90% Serious risk of underachievement
Below 85% Serious cause for concern and underachievement.

We are gradually replacing our paper forms with electronic forms where appropriate, in order to reduce paper usage and to increase efficiency. If you require a paper version of any of our forms, please contact the school office.
