The Wellbeing Team often do initiatives and competition to keep attendance at the forefront of people’s minds and so the pre-half term week was an obvious time to start. Each day if the students arrived every day and on time they got a tick on a slip of paper. Each was worth three house points and those with all five were given an extra ten bonus points, equating to 25 house points in total. Students were also put into a prize draw so that one lucky child from each year group went home with a specially selected toy or game.

Sarah Fleming, the Safeguarding and Child Protection Manager said: ‘We are always very committed to keeping our attendance figures excellent and so we target those who aren’t achieving a 95% score. However the Attendance Bonus week was all about reinforcing and rewarding good attendance and making sure the students know how important it is to get to school on time every single day. The children loved competing for house points and the fact that the prize draw was drawn in assembly on Friday afternoon made it more exciting!’
