Attendance Working Party
CRC Article 28 – All children have the right to learn
Today our Attendance Working Party met for the first time, the group has been formed following class votes where students nominated who they wanted to be their class representative. Today our working party discussed:
‘Why its important to attend school every day?’ Remmie said ‘we learn lots’ while Kobi shared, he ‘enjoys spending time with friends’
Another question included ‘How shall we tell other people to attend school more?’ with Evie sharing ‘we should compare how lucky we are to go to school compared to some children who don’t get this opportunity around the world’
We are so proud to have you representing our school for attendance

Thank you to parents and carers who support us with school attendance.
Attendance Celebrations
CRC Article 28 – All children have the right to a good quality education.
All members of THPS who have achieved 100% attendance to date have enjoyed celebrating with some delicious cakes.
Yesterday, 36 students tucked into a wonderful afternoon tea to say a huge well done from school for achieving 100% school attendance.
Our Attendance Working Party gave our certificates and joined in the celebrations with those students who attend school every day.
Well done to all involved. We are very proud.
We want every child at our school to have the best education possible. Attending school everyday is crucial to the education of your child.
Having a good education will help to give your child the best possible start in life. Poor school attendance damages educational achievement and the future progress of your child. Promoting and supporting good attendance at school is essential to learning and attainment.
Attendance Children’s Working Party – is currently being updated and will be available soon.
What can parents do to help?
Make sure that your child comes to school everyday and arrives on time. It’s a good idea to start these positive habits at an early age, when your child first starts school.
- If your child is ill, contact the school on the first day of your child’s illness.
- If your child is ever absent from school, you must tell us why. You can do this by contacting the School Office.
- Authorised absences are only ever agreed in exceptional circumstances.
If you need any help or advice about your child’s attendance, please contact our Head Teacher, Mrs. Boulton, or our Attendance Officer, Mrs. Mathwin, via the School Office. You can telephone on 01388 772959 or send a message via our website contact form.
What happens if your child does not attend school?
By law, all children of compulsory school age must be provided with a full-time education. As a parent, you are responsible for making sure this happens, either by registering your child at a school or by making other arrangements which provide an effective education.
If your child is not attending school regularly, our Attendance Officer, Mrs. Mathwin, may visit you. It is important that you co-operate to make sure that any attendance issues are resolved.
Failure to co-operate with the Attendance Officer and our school may result in legal action. This could lead to a Fixed Penalty Notice being issued and/or the possibility of imprisonment.
These consequences are set by the Government.
