Attendance

At Stoke Lodge Primary School we know how important attending school every day is for our pupils. We are passionate about supporting you and your child with learning and arriving on time to school everyday is instrumental to achieving this.

Attending school on time and every day helps children develop positive habits and routines. It is crucial that we work in partnership to achieve this. We want your child to flourish with their learning, have access to enrichment clubs, develop positive relationships with their friends and adults and enjoy all aspects of school life on a daily basis.

A sense of belonging is instrumental in helping your child to feel safe, secure and happy. Being at school and maintaining relationships with friends and adults is very important to this and we work hard to help our pupils enjoy being part of our SLP family. Our ‘Gem Powers’ underpin all of our teaching and learning and these are the tools that set members of our SLP families apart to succeed, enjoy life and ‘Stay Curious.’

We are very lucky to have Mrs Danielle James as our Attendance Lead and she is available to help with any concerns about your child’s attendance. Danielle may also phone or write to you inviting you to a meeting to discuss attendance if we become concerned. We can also support with a return to school after a period of absence to ensure your child settles back to school life as quickly as possible.
