100% ATTENDANCE

100% Attendance

We are working hard at William Barcroft to ensure that attendance is as high as possible and have a number of rewards in place for children who achieve full attendance. If your child is ill absences must be reported on the first day that your child is away, either by telephone or in person before 9am if possible. On return the child needs to bring with them a note. Any appointments should be made out of school hours and where this is not possible must be backed up with an appointment card.We encourage 100% attendance in each and everyone of our pupils. It is an essential part of school life. In order to make the most of our learning we need to be in school everyday. We reward 100% attendance each term for both staff and pupils. This reward can be a lovely chocolate treat, a trip out for lunch and for those that have been here everyday by the end of the year it could mean you having a trip out into our local community. Each week attendance is presented to the whole school in assembly. The top three percentages of attendance are read out and the well deserved winners take the pride of ‘Attendance Winner’s’ and a trophy to match! If you have gained 100% of pupil attendance in your class, the trophy will be full of sweets to share!

Holidays in Term Time

Governors at William Barcroft have adopted the government’s policy of not allowing holidays to be taken in term time. Unless time out is due to medical or religious reasons they will not be authorised and fines will be issued.

Our much stricter stance on illness and not authorising holidays in term time has had a fantastic effect on the levels of absence in school and I am positive will have a brilliant effect on the attainment of children in school over the coming years.
