Attendance at All Saints

At All Saints' C/W Primary School, we believe that every day in school matters and that attendance is everyone’s responsibility.

We aim to create a culture where all pupils feel safe, valued and included, so that they want to come to school, learn and thrive.

​

Our Vision

• Every child feels a strong sense of belonging in our School and community.

• Families are partners in improving attendance, supported with empathy and understanding.

• Staff are proactive in identifying patterns and responding early to barriers.

• Systems are used intelligently, balancing high expectations with care and flexibility.

• Attendance is part of our whole-school approach to well-being, inclusion and equity.

Why Attendance Matters

​

​

​

​

​​

Miss School… Miss Out

• Disruption to learning: Missing days makes it harder to keep up.

• Social isolation: Friendships and routines are interrupted.

• Anxiety and stress: Falling behind can affect confidence and well-being.

Attendance Matters

A whole year has 365 days. A school year has only 190 days, leaving 175 days to spend on family time, visits, holidays, birthday treats, dentist and hospital appointments.

​

90% attendance is equal to 1 day off each fortnight.
