Attendance and Punctuality
Please see our attendance and punctuality policy for further details.
We refer to the DFE guidance Working together to improve attendance 2024
At Boarshaw Primary School we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. We understand the importance of our pupils being in school each and every day and most importantly on time. Certificates and prizes are offered to pupils who have good attendance in school.
At present we have an attendance display in the entrance of school. Each week during our celebration assembly one class from each key stage, with the best weekly attendance, wins the attendance Super Hero to keep in their class! This class will also receive a treat! Our pupils enjoy the competitive elements of this competition.
