Attendance Matters

At St. Gerard's we are committed to maximizing the achievement of every child.  There is a clear link between good attendance and educational achievement.  We strive to encourage and support all our families to achieve 100% attendance.


The below table demonstrates the impact of poor attendance and punctuality on a child's education.


Every Friday in our celebration assembly we will present the class with the overall highest attendance with an Attendance Certificate.  Classes are then given a score from 5 to 1. 


Each half term the class with the highest attendance is congratulated with an invitation to a Movie Night or Disco.


Attendance Champions Club

At the end of each term all children who have achieved perfect attendance will be invited either a movie night or a disco.  Children will also receive a certificate and special mention in our awards ceremony.


End of Year 100% Attendance Celebration 


Children with 100% attendance for the whole year will receive a certificate.  Every child will also be entered into a prize draw to win either a family day out or a voucher.
