Attendance and Punctuality
Information to help protect children and families from illness during the Winter.
Attendance – Our Vision
100% attendance for every child
At Grove School parents, children, staff and governors believe that:
- Every child is important to and is valued by the school
- The school has a commitment to providing the highest possible standard of pastoral care, guidance, support and education and this is harder to achieve if children have poor attendance/punctuality
- Good attendance and punctuality will prepare children for adult life
- We do not want children to experience feelings of isolation, being behind with work or being left out of school events.
It is therefore the responsibility of the whole school community to ensure all children attend school regularly and form good habits in punctuality
