Our aim at Turves Green Primary School is to provide the greatest opportunity for children’s learning. We endeavour to provide all our pupils with an equal chance to make the most of the education that school offers, by providing a positive and encouraging atmosphere. For this to be achieved, it is vital that every child attends school regularly and punctually. Our whole school attendance target is 96%.

Whole School Incentive - Class Bank Accounts.

This year the children at Turves Green Primary School have class bank accounts! 

Each week, every class in school has the chance to earn money for their class bank accounts.

The winning class in each phase, WITH 96% or above will get £5.

Each class with 96% or above, even if they are not the winning class, will get £1.

Any class that gets 100% attendance will get £10.

Classes can choose to save or spend the money they earn

The children will have the chance to ‘shop’ for what they would like to ‘spend’ their class money on, for example a class own clothes day, a movie afternoon with popcorn, extra playtime or a class hot chocolate!

Good Attendance Matters

Parents have a legal responsibility to ensure their children attend school regularly. However, the school recognises that problems may occasionally occur which affect this. Through working in partnership with parents, we can find solutions to problems together and ensure children’s right to a full education.  The NHS have published guidance for parents and carers who are unsure whether to send their children to school.  You can view this here: Is my child too ill for school? - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Attendance is published weekly on our attendance board in the main school hall, which shows the attendance percentage for the previous week and also on the front page of the school website.
