Attendance at Bramley Park Academy
At the end of each term, 100% attendees will receive a gold certificate in the school celebration assembly, along with a badge (three to collect) Autumn, Spring & Summer
Pupils achieving 99.9% to 98% attendance will also receive a silver certificate and a bronze certificate for 97.9% to 96% attendance
We celebrate attendance every Tuesday morning in a special assembly, where each class gets a chance to move around the large Classopoly board that is on display in the school hall.
Classopoly
Classopoly is our monopoly style board game – Each class has their own monopoly piece which moves around the board every week. Each week a child who has had 100% attendance the previous week will be chosen to roll the big dice for their class. There is one special difference about our board though – instead of streets, the squares are all rewards; everything from extra playtimes, art activities, to lemonade, milk shakes, and much more. Also a child from each class, who has had 100% attendance the previous week will win a prize from the special prize box and a 100% sticker The class with the highest attendance will be able to display a special poster in their classroom for the full week until the next assembly

3 P’s for Attendance at Bramley Park Academy
- PREVENTION
You can prevent your child by missing school by making sure they understand the importance of good attendance and punctuality.
Take an interest in their education – ask them about school work, and encourage them to get involved in any school activities.
Discuss any problems they may have at school, and inform their teacher or a member of the Pastoral Team about anything serious.
Do not let them take time off school for minor ailments.
- PUNCTUALITY
Ensure your child arrives at school on time – 8:45AM.
Being continually late can have a detrimental effect on your child’s education.
| Minutes late each day | Number of days of education lost over a year |
| 5 minutes | 3.4 days |
| 10 minutes | 6.9 days |
| 15 minutes | 10.3 days |
| 20 minutes | 13.8 days |
| 30 minutes | 20.7 days |
- PROMOTION
Promote an education to your child; let them know that they have to make the most of the educational opportunities available to them.
Irregular school attendance seriously disrupts continuity of learning, undermines progress and leads to underachievement and low attainment.
Give your child the education they are entitled to and deserve – we want them to succeed just as much as you!
