Our attendance incentives and procedures were devised collaboratively with the children - they are inclusive incentives…every child has the opportunity to achieve one!
We absolutely agree that if children are poorly, then they must stay home. However, through promoting attendance together, we are trying to encourage full attendance when children are not poorly.
Our incentives are:
The weekly 100% incentive - this is where all children who achieve 100% in one week receive a raffle ticket. They continue to receive a raffle ticket each week they are in. We then put all the raffle tickets in a ‘raffle wheel’ and draw it in assembly. The children with the most improved attendance will receive a prize. Our last incentive is the Bee Here Battle! It is the half-termly prize for the class with the best attendance.Unauthorised Absence: What do I need to know?
