Attendance at Springfields Academy

We are passionate about creating and maintaining a positive learning environment in school, together with an ethos which promotes and celebrates the highest levels of attendance and engagement.

There is a direct relationship between excellent attendance and excellent progress not just academically but also socially and emotionally. Pupils with the poorest attendance, more often than not, progress less well than other students both academically and socially. We have placed a figure of 95% as a minimum attendance expectation to ensure that each child is able to reach their full potential.

As a special school, we recognise that there may be times when our most complex pupils who have extreme anxiety and/or mental/medical needs have longer periods of absence. We therefore work alongside Parents/Carers and other professional’s involved in the child/young person’s life to support them to come back into school as quickly as possible. We will make reasonable adjustments to fully support the young person’s return.
