Attendance

Our aim is to bring the best out of every pupil that attends Stanground St John’s CofE Primary School!

The Importance of Attendance

Consistent school attendance is vital for ensuring pupils have uninterrupted access to learning, enabling them to reach their full potential. Regular attendance supports academic achievement, strengthens social development, and fosters a sense of belonging within the school community. It also allows teachers to deliver lessons effectively and maintain continuity in the curriculum.


Consequences of Poor Attendance

Low overall attendance can have serious negative impacts. Pupils who are frequently absent often face learning gaps, reduced academic performance, and wider disparities in attainment. This not only affects the school’s performance data but can also lead to unfavourable inspection outcomes. Moreover, poor attendance raises safeguarding concerns, increases the need for interventions, and undermines the school’s culture—ultimately affecting the quality of education and eroding trust within the community.

At Stanground St John's, we operate a 'soft start' to the day with doors opening from 8:40am. Children must be in school by 8:50am each day.
