Attendance
The Compass Academy aims to maximise attendance for all pupils. Attendance is a key indicator of attitudes to learning and is a sign that we are actively engaging pupils.
We work in close partnership with parents/carers to encourage the regular attendance of pupils. While it is understood that parents/carers are primarily responsible for ensuring that their children attend school, we believe it is also our responsibility to support attendance. Parents/carers are regularly reminded that an unjustified absence is not acceptable.
Parents/carers are required to support The Compass Academy Behaviour Support Plan and to sign The Compass Academy Contract in support of their children.
Please contact school before 9am if your child is unwell.
Call the main reception or the child’s tutor directly.
The Compass Academy supports attendance through:
- Close liaison with parents/carers
- A clear policy on absence and clearly defined expectations of pupils and parents/carers at interview
- Close monitoring of pupils’ attendance at morning and afternoon registration
- Working closely with the Educational Welfare Officer
- Home tuition sessions where appropriate
- A Rewards Scheme
