Attendance & Progress
Attendance at Barnes Wallis Academy
Our aims:
1. Support parents in the legal responsibility to ensure their child attends school regularly and punctually.
2. Support Students with any needs preventing them from attending.
Regular attendance is essential for success.
If a student is absent we ask you to contact the school on the first day of absence to advise the reason.
Requests for permission to be absent should only be made in exceptional circumstances, and always in writing to the Principal. After each absence, however short, a student should bring a note from the parent or carer, stating the reason for the absence.
The Academy uses lots of different ways to track student progress, and parents are always welcome to discuss their child's progress with teachers. If you would like to discuss your child's progress then please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
Reports
Data reports are produced 3 times a year.
The report contains information about current effort and attainment alongside the targets we have set for your child. We ask that if there are any concerns about progress, please contact your child's Form Tutor. In addition, parents/ carers and students are invited to an annual consultation evening.
