Stockland Green School: Attendance Strategy and Processes 2024-2025

Attendance Champion: Mr S Beeston (Lead DSL and Strategic Lead for Attendance)

Attendance Officer: Miss M Nichols

At Stockland Green School, it is our mission that all students Attend with P.R.I.D.E.

Stockland Green is proudly recognised as an Inclusive Attendance school. Our unwavering commitment to attendance centres around child-centric actions, evidence-informed practices, and a shared understanding of everyone’s roles and collective responsibilities to promote attendance in line with our P.R.I.D.E values.

We offer a multi-tied system of support for children and families, to offer early help and intervention to remove barriers to attendance.

Please contact Miss Nichols (Attendance Officer) or your child’s Pastoral Leader if you are worried about anything that may be impacting on their attendance to school or wellbeing.

Pastoral Leader (Cole): Miss Blanchette

Pastoral Leader (Rea): Mr Birch

Pastoral Leader (Tame): Miss Connaire

PRIORITY 1 – Whole School Attendance Approach:

• An inclusive approach in which all staff know their role with regards to attendance and our three-tiered approach.
• Students will feel a sense of belonging as part of the House system.
• Ensuring our school environment is inclusive and our trauma informed approach to supporting students informs our actions in relation to attendance.
• Relationships with students and families are central to identifying barriers and unmet needs which are impacting on attendance.

PRIORITY 2 – CPDL

• Regular CPDL and whole staff reflections regarding attendance are delivered during our weekly staff briefings and the CPDL calendar.

PRIORITY 3 – Intervention and Support

• Our Three-tiered approach ensures unmet needs and barriers are identified swiftly so that appropriate Early Help can be implemented.
• The Pastoral team works closely with students and families to remove these barriers
• Subject Leaders and House Leaders will identify academic support for students returning from absence.
• The intervention menu will be used to provide targeted intervention for students.
• Stockland Green school works closely with a range of external agencies to support young people and families.

PRIORITY 4 – Rewards and recognition

• Attendance updates are to be a regular feature of the morning line-ups and House assemblies. Monday Period 1 (citizenship) is a time tutors to access attendance and have targeted conversations with tutees.
• Unstructured praise and recognition is given by staff for all students attending with PRIDE.
• Recognition for excellent or improved attendance is also shown with praise postcards, phone calls home, end of term celebration assemblies, form prizes such as film events, and even Just Eat vouchers for our Attendance Streak winners.
