Attendance News

THE BENEFITS TO GOOD ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL:

Good attendance at school is essential for pupils to get the most out of their school experience, including their attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances.  At Horton Mill Community Primary School, we expect children to attend school every day unless they are unwell.
Each week we will report on the attendance for the whole school but also each individual class.
Our weekly attendance target is to acheive at least 96%.
Week Beginning 10.11.2025:
Year Group % Attendance
Nursery 86.1% (↓ 8.2%)
Reception 72.5% (↓ 22.2%)
Year One 92.1% (↓ 0.5%)
Year Two

94% (↓ 2.2%)

Year Three 88.7% (↓ 7.5%)
Year Four 95.2% (↑ 1.6%)
Year Five 97.9% (↑ 2%)
Year Six 99.4% (↑ 5.2%)
Whole School 91.1% (↓ 3.6%)

Punctuality:

Is it important that children arrive to school on time every day so that they are not missing the start of the day. Our classroom doors are open from 8.45 - 8.55. From 8.55, children will need to be signed in at the school office and they will be marked in the school register as 'late'. 

Each week we will report on the number of children arriving late for the whole school as well as each individual class.

Year Group Number of pupils arriving late
Reception 3
Year One 9
Year Two 4
Year Three 1
Year Four 7
Year Five 5
Year Six 2

 

Classopoly:

Each week during our Celebration Assembly, classes with 96% attendance or above get the chance to play 'Classopoly'. All the street names around the board are linked to our local community. If the children land on a 'Treasure Chest' , they receive a special treat such as extra playtime, hot chocolate, penalty shoot-out, etc.  

Let's see which class received a treat this week...

Year 5 - 100 house points each

Year 6 - extra iPad time

 

96% Attendance Fridge Magnets:

Once a child's attendance rises above 96%, they will receive a special fridge magnet is recognition of their improved attendance.
