    Attendance

    Attendance is really important to us here at Harwich Community Primary School and Nursery. 

    Harwich Community Primary School and Nursery recognises that positive behaviour and good attendance are essential in order to raise standards of pupil attainment and to give every child/young person the best educational experience possible. 

    We aim to:

    • promote a positive and welcoming atmosphere in which pupils feel safe, secure and valued.
    • Raise awareness of the importance of good attendance and punctuality.
    • Ensure that attendance is monitored effectively and reasons for absences are recorded promptly and consistently.

    We promote attendance by using our school mascot - Attendance Ted. Each week the classes compete with each other to see who can achieve the highest attendance and then the winning class will receive a visit from Attendance Ted, a small mascot Ted to stay in class for the week and they also get the chance to play Flamingo Bingo.
