Behaviour, Attendance and Welfare
BackWhite Cliffs Primary and Nursery School believes that in order to facilitate teaching and learning, good attendance is essential. Pupils cannot achieve their full potential if they do not regularly attend school.
We are committed to:
•Ensuring parents follow the framework set in section 7 of the Education Act 1996, which states that:
The parent of every child of compulsory school age shall cause him/her to receive efficient full-time education suitable –
- (a) to age, ability and aptitude, and
- (b) to any special educational needs he/she may have
either by regular attendance at school or otherwise.
•Promoting and modelling good attendance behaviour.
•Ensuring equality and fairness of treatment for all.
•Implementing our policies in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.
•Early intervention and working with other agencies to ensure the health and safety of our pupils.
•Rewarding regular attendance.

National Breakfast Programme
We are proud members of the National Breakfast Programme.
Bagels are available for the children between 08.35am and 08.50am every morning. The bagels are not to take the place of a nutritious breakfast at home but are in addition and will allow a soft start to the day for our children.
We also hope that this will encourage children to be in on time and therefore ready to work.
More information about the scheme can be found here: National School Breakfast Programme - Family Action (family-action.org.uk)
Attendance Challenge
At White Cliffs Primary and Nursery School, we run an Attendance Challenges through out the year. Certificates for children achieving 100%, 99% or 98% attendance at the end of the academic year are celebrated in an assembly and each awarded a certificate.
We appreciate that it is not always possible to attend every day for a whole year as sometimes their can be unavoidable appointments children have to attend or legitimate illness, so we also run an attendance challenge throughout the school year.
