Attendance is vital to your child achieving their full potential at Kingsmead School and, as a school, we will work with you to improve your child’s attendance and enhance their chances of achieving well. We aspire for all our pupils to reach good attendance of 95% and above (Zone 1). Pupil attendance is monitored regularly in school and pupils with good or improving attendance are rewarded.
At Kingsmead School we also have an Attendance Team, who will work closely with you to help improve your child’s attendance. If you do have any concerns regarding your child’s attendance then your first port of call is your child’s key worker or Family Support Worker.
If you have any queries regarding the legal process around attendance Our Education Welfare Officer is Adele Jones. There are occasions when we may have to refer families to this service to gain further support and guidance to help improve attendance.
