Attendance & Punctuality Overview
At Firth Park Academy, our mission is to help your child unlock their full potential, and consistent attendance plays a crucial role in this journey.
Why Attendance Matters:
Maximising Learning: Every minute in class counts! Regular attendance ensures your child doesn't miss key concepts, instructions, and discussions. This fuels their academic progress and opens doors to exciting learning opportunities.
Conquering Challenges: Time management is a skill. By consistently arriving on time and prepared, your child learns to overcome obstacles and manage their schedule effectively. This builds confidence and sets them up for future success.
Creating a Positive Classroom: Your child's presence matters. Their unique spark contributes to a vibrant and supportive learning environment, where everyone feels valued and empowered to shine.
Aiming for Attendance Greatness:
We believe in striving for excellence, and that includes aiming for at least 97% attendance (missing fewer than 4 days per year). Here's a simple breakdown to help you track progress:
Tips for Everyday Habits:
Embrace Routines: Establish regular sleep schedules and morning routines to ensure timely departures.
Be Prepared: Encourage your child to complete homework, pack school bags, organise materials the night before, and plan their journey to school.
Open Communication: Maintain open communication with teachers and our Attendance Team about any potential absences or concerns.
Celebrate Success: Recognize and reward your child's attendance achievements, big or small.
Remember, consistent attendance is more than just ticking a box; it's an investment in your child's future success. By working together, we can help them unlock their potential!
