Attend School, Arrive On Time, Every Day!

Florence Melly Primary School is dedicated to ensuring every pupil attends school, arriving on time, every day. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success, social development, and overall well-being. Below, you can access our attendance strategy, guided by the ‘Working Together to Improve School Attendance’ document, 2024 and recent internal and external reviews of our practice, to outline our comprehensive approach to promoting, monitoring, and improving school attendance.

Our goal is to proactively address attendance issues and support each child in reaching their full potential through specific, actionable steps and responsibilities.

If you need help or support with your child’s attendance please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Sainsbury, our Designated Safeguarding Lead and Attendance Lead.
