At Pinfold Street Primary School, we pride ourselves as being an inclusive school where we support all learners to fulfil their maximum potential.  

 

We know that, at some point or other, children will be too ill to attend school. We also recognise that some children will need more time off school due to medical needs. We want all of our children to feel included, therefore, our new attendance vision is:

 

‘Our children attend school every day possible.’

 

Regular school attendance is crucial for your child’s development and success in the following:

 

• Early Routine: Establishing a regular attendance routine from the first years of school helps your child develop lifelong habits.

• Familiarity: Consistent attendance allows your child to get to know their teacher, classmates and other families, creating a supportive school community.

• Sense of Belonging: Regular attendance helps children feel connected to their school and fosters a sense of belonging.

• Future Success: Attending school regularly supports future educational opportunities and helps prepare your child for secondary school.

• Skill Development: School provides a platform for learning new skills, gaining confidence, and making informed decisions.

• Social Interaction: It offers opportunities to play with friends, participate in team activities, and engage in personal growth.

• Confidence and Growth: Regular school attendance contributes to building confidence, personal growth, and understanding of oneself.
