At Joseph Locke we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. Our attendance target for 2022-2023 is 97% for the whole school. School opens at 8:45am Monday-Friday and we expect children to be on time for class everyday.
We are working extremely hard to increase our attendance and punctuality figures and this will continue throughout the school year! Some of the strategies we are currently using include:
· Breakfast club
· Early morning phone calls for persistent late comers/non-attenders (starting at 8.30am)
· Dynamic punctuality door (Greeting parents and children outside the school gates)
· Door knocking (visiting the homes of late comers/ non-attenders)
· Weekly class attendance and punctuality awards.
· End of half term most improved child.
· End of half term attendance assembly
If you have any issues regarding attendance/punctuality please speak to our interim attendance officer Mr Bailey
