Attendance

Attendance at Barrowby CE Primary School is excellent-currently 98.14%.  All our pupils enjoy coming to school and are happy in their learning.  As a way to acknowledge good attendance, we have introduced a reward system.

This has taken the form of a series of certificates, awarded to individual pupils in the last week of the Autumn, Spring and Summer Term, to recognise 100% attendance.

Bronze :        Awarded for 100% attendance in a single (2) term e.g. Autumn

Silver:          Awarded for 100% attendance, in two (4) consecutive terms e.g. Autumn & Spring

Gold:            Awarded for 100% attendance, in all three (6) terms e.g. Autumn, Spring & Summer

Platinum:       Awarded for 100% attendance, for last 2 years

If pupils do require term time absence, we ask that parents complete a 'Request for Absence Form' available from the link below:
