At Gascoigne Primary, we are committed to meeting our obligations with regard to school attendance through our whole-school culture and ethos that values good attendance, including:

• Promoting good attendance and punctuality;
• Reducing absence, including persistent (90% and below) and severe absence (50% and below);
• Ensuring every pupil has access to the full-time education to which they are entitled;
• Acting early to address patterns of absence;
• Building strong relationships with families to ensure pupils have the support in place to attend school.
• We will also promote and support punctuality in attending lessons.
