Excellent attendance is essential for achieving the highest possible outcomes. Our curriculum is engaging, purposeful, and motivating. We take a no-excuses approach to attendance and punctuality. Where this is not happening, our role is to identify and remove barriers, working with our families to challenge and support. A robust strategy supports regular and punctual attendance, which is proven to have a direct impact on children’s achievement and life chances. Our aspiration is to be at or above national averages, or to show a strong, positive trend towards meeting this goal. We pride ourselves on the support we offer families to ensure children attend school consistently. Our attendance team are always here to help. Children are taught the importance of good attendance. They are encouraged to make the most of every opportunity so they can achieve and succeed — and they know that to do this, they need to be in school. ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/images/1%5B1%5D.png)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/images/2%5B1%5D.png) Attendance is rewarded on a weekly basis and at the end of each half term. ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/images/2.png)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/images/1.png).
