At Ackworth Howard, attendance is a visible expression of our vision: Educating for life in all its fullness. We believe children flourish best when they are present, included, supported and able to fully engage in school life.
Regular attendance is essential not only for academic achievement, but also for wellbeing, friendships, confidence and personal development. Every day in school matters.
Our approach to attendance is rooted in strong relationships, early support and high expectations. We work closely with families to identify and remove barriers to attendance wherever possible, while ensuring all children are encouraged to attend regularly and punctually.
We are committed to working supportively and proactively with families. If there are difficulties affecting attendance, please contact school as early as possible so that we can help.
