Attendance helps Achievement!

Children and parents are always being reminded about the importance of attendance, and that is because it is so closely linked with achievement and raising standards of children's work.

 

Look at the facts:

 

Year

Attendance

Achievement

2007

88%

(the lowest in Bristol)

Y6 SATs Maths Level 4+ .. 29%

(the lowest in Bristol)

Y6 SATs English Level 4+ .. 46%

(one of the lowest in Bristol)

2008

91.7%

Y6 SATs Maths Level 4+ .. 59%

Y6 SATs English Level 4+ .. 59%

 

..................an increase of almost 4% in attendance led to a 30% improvement in Maths achievement, so ..............

 

Attendance helps Achievement!

 

Look at attendance in each year group. 

Our highest achieving group this year is Year 5.

 

Attendance

Achievement

94.1%

Maths .... 70% at age expected level

English .... 70% at age expected level

 

Again, a further increase of 3% in attendance results in another 11% of the children achieving the right level for their age.

 

To continue our rise in standards, we need all the children to attend more regularly.
