School Attendance
Invested Education believes that in order to facilitate teaching and learning, good attendance is essential.
Students cannot achieve their full potential if they do not regularly attend school.
We understand that barriers to attendance are complex, and that some students find it harder than others to attend school; therefore, we will continue to prioritise cultivating a safe and supportive environment at Invested Education, as well as strong and trusting relationships with students and their families. We take a whole-school approach to securing good attendance, and recognise the impact that our efforts in other areas – such as the curriculum, behaviour standards, bullying, SEND support, pastoral support, and the effective use of resources such as pupil premium – can have on improving student attendance

Punctuality
Punctuality is extremely important. All students are required to arrive punctually by 8:50 am in readiness to start the day promptly at 9am. If a student arrives to the school after the close of registration at 9:30am, the session may be recorded as ‘U’ on the registration certificate which is an unauthorised absence and will impact on their overall attendance.
