Attendance
The law entitles every child of compulsory school age to an efficient, full-time education suitable to their age, aptitude, and any special educational need they may have. It is the legal responsibility of every parent to make sure their child receives that education either by attendance at a school or by education otherwise than at a school.
St Augustine Academy is committed to the continuous raising of achievement for all our students. Regular attendance is critical if our students are to be successful and benefit from the opportunities put in front of them.
Evidence clearly shows that good attendance brings about improved performance in all areas of their educational life and has a major impact on the success of pupils throughout their lives. Good attendance also plays an important role in ensuring that the young people in our school are safe.
We actively promote 100% attendance for all our students and use a variety of termly and annual awards to promote good attendance and punctuality.
Students who have 100% attendance in a term are awarded a 100% attendance certificate. There names are also entered into the termly attendance prize draw.
Throughout the year, we hold a range of attendance rewards. For example, we recently held a 100% Attendance Christmas Cinema.
During our termly attendance assembilies, we award students who have 100% in both Term 1 & 2 with a Bronze Attendance certificate and badge. Students who recieve 100% attendance from Term 1 through to Term 4 recieve the Silver Attendance certificate and badge and students who have 100% for the whole academic year will be awarded the Gold Attendance certificate and badge. We actively encourage students to wear these badges on their blazers.
