We are excited to announce our 4 new Student Attendance Champions who will support the school's attendance team. Next term they will be busy talking with pupils and getting their views on how we can continue to make our attendance better and why sometimes it is hard to be in school. They will also support us with developing a system individual pupil rewards to go alongside all the things we do for classes and the whole school. Watch this space!
