Attendance & Behaviour
At St George’s we believe that positive relationships are at the heart of a healthy, happy and effective learning environment.
High levels of school attendance are also significant to raising standards in education and ensuring all pupils can fulfil their potential.
Attendance
In order to ensure that children reach their true potential, good attendance is essential. Whenever possible, your child should be in school and on time to maximise learning time.
High levels of school attendance are significant to raising standards in education and ensuring all pupils can fulfil their potential. It is an assumption so widely understood but insufficiently stated that children and young people need to attend school regularly to benefit from their education. Missing out on lessons leaves pupils vulnerable to falling behind and achieving less in both primary and secondary school.
St Cuthbert’s Roman Catholic Academy Trust expects all pupils, at any one time throughout the school year, to be attaining at least 97% attendance. This equates to no more than 5 days (10 sessions) absence within the school year. This requirement is in accordance with Ofsted guidance which rates attendance as follows:
Positive Behaviour Policy
Our St George’s family nurtures a culture of Christian love and respect for each other and the world around us. By providing creative experiences and challenge for all learners, children grow in resilience, learn to persevere, develop belief in themselves and build hopes and dreams for their future.
At St George's we will continuously strive to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Each person will be given fair and equal opportunities to develop their full potential. The school will actively promote equality and foster positive attitudes and commitment to an education for equality.
