Attendance

At Flamborough Primary School we recognise the importance that good attendance and punctuality have in ensuring that children are able to make good academic progress, have good mental well-being, health and happiness. We want every child to strive towards excellent attendance and work hard with children, parents and carers to make individual attendance as good as it can be.

 
Explanation of Annual Percentage (%) attendance

Attendance under 95% means that a child is missing at least two weeks of learning time in a school year.

Attendance under 90% means that a child is missing four weeks of learning time which will have a  significant impact on their learning.

The Education Welfare Service (EWS)

The EWS works in partnership with schools, parents/carers and children to achieve the best levels of school attendance and punctuality for all students. The EWS works closely with schools and other external agencies in order to promote and improve school attendance and address welfare issues.

The EWS is responsible for:

  • regular monitoring of student attendance;
  • conducting home visits where there are attendance concerns;
  • working with parents/carers to improve school attendance;
  • completing their statutory duty to ensure parents/carers make sure their children attend school regularly, by completing the Fast Track to Prosecution procedure.
School holidays cannot, under the new DFE regulations, be authorised by Headteachers and if holidays are taken, those over 5 days will be referred to the Education Welfare Services (EWS) for a penalty notice.
