Confident Achieving Respectful Enthusiastic Supportive
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you will know we are working hard at Camstradden to improve our attendance and late coming. Poor attendance is our biggest attainment gap. This means the children who do not attend school are not on track with their learning. If they were in school on time they would be more able to achieve their full potential. Please help us to support your children by ensuring your child attends school every day.
We also have large concerns surrounding the level of late coming at Camstradden Primary. Every day we have over 30 children who are registered late for school. This number sometimes increases into the 70’s.
Late coming is detrimental to pupils learning and is disruptive to the learning of others. Large numbers of children coming in late to school through the office also means our one member of clerical staff is unable to answer phones, processes registers, respond to emails or perform any other duties which has a negative impact in a variety of different ways. In order to improve late coming we require the support of all parents and carers to ensure children is in school on time each day. School starts at 9am and famines should ensure that pupils are in the playground and lined up before the bell sounds at 9am.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Yours
Miss Laura Davidson
Acting Head Teacher
