Attendance at Henley Green

Every minute matters and every school day counts!

 

Senior Attendance Champion: Michelle Newton

Attendance Officer: Kim Morris

Henley Green Primary School is proudly recognised as an Inclusive Attendance school. Our unwavering commitment to attendance centres around child-centric actions, evidence-informed practices, and a shared understanding of everyone's roles and collective responsibilities to promote exceptional attendance.

 

Inclusive Attendance Professional Development Model
The Inclusive Attendance professional development model fundamentally guides our attendance approach. Comprising six tailored Learning Modules, this model empowers us to deepen our understanding by facilitating continuous professional learning for all staff. Within this model, the four domains of practice ensure the provision of professional learning, professional development, evidence-based practices, and exemplary leadership and management to seamlessly integrate theory into practice.

 

At Henley Green we believe children will make progress by:

Taking pride in following our agreed code of conduct

Taking responsibility to be in school every day on time

Taking an active role in rich and rewarding experiences

Being appreciated and rewarded for achievements and successes

 

In the event of pupil illness, it is important that parents/ carers contact the school office (02476 613 613) or FST mobile (07360 618409) to inform us of pupil absence by 9.15am at the latest. A member of the Family Support Team will contact parents/carers if school have not been informed.

If you are struggling with your child's attendance please let us know and we will work together to support children to attend school positively. 

 

Appointments

To avoid any missed learning time, we ask that whenever possible, parents make medical appointments outside of school time. In the event that appointments have to be attended during the school day, for example for a hospital appointment, please bring any letters detailing the appointment to the school office and inform school at the earliest opportunity.

 

Punctuality

It is important that children arrive at school on time before 9.00am, gates open at 8.45am. Registers close at 9.00am, after which time, pupils will be marked as late. Children will then need to enter school via the office main entrance.

 

Attendance Awards

Each week, the classes with good attendance receive the 'Attendance Award' in our Friday  Celebration Assembly.

Children receive messages from their class teachers through Class DOJO, to support them whilst they are absent and to ensure they feel welcomed and ready to come back to school.

 

At the end of each term, those pupils with continually good attendance receive a special certificate in our Governor's Award Assembly. This allows time for a short authorised illness. One of these children will be drawn out of our raffle box to receive the Attendance Award and the opportunity to receive a Smyths Toys Voucher.
