Attendance
At Ashbury Meadow we believe that regular attendance is the key to enabling children to maximise the educational opportunities available to them and become emotionally resilient, confident and competant adults, who can realise their full potential and amake a positive contribution to their community. We are a UNICEF Rights Respecting Gold School and Article 28 states 'Every child has a right to an education'. This can only be achieved when children are regularly attending school.
Ashbury Meadow values all pupils and strives to build strong relationships with families to ensure pupils have the support in place to attend school.
Our new attendance policy can be found below and it supports the vision and implementation of the new DfE guidance 'working together to improve attendance' published in May 2022.
