Your partnership plays a vital role in helping every young person access the best possible opportunities to succeed.
Our Commitment to Attendance
We are continuing to build a positive culture of attendance across Forge Valley, shaped by strong pastoral support, high expectations, and our commitment to nurturing the whole child. Creating an environment where every pupil feels safe, supported, and motivated to attend is central to our ethos.
Staying Connected and Supportive
Our pastoral teams and attendance officers are always here to talk through any concerns. Early conversations help us understand what might be affecting attendance so we can work together on practical solutions that make a real difference.
Practical Ways We Can Help
We can offer guidance on a range of everyday challenges, including:
-
Establishing smooth morning routines
-
Managing illness and knowing when a child is well enough to attend
-
Understanding attendance expectations
-
Accessing resources that help families keep school days running smoothly.
These small steps, taken together, help us support pupils to attend consistently and confidently.
Working in Partnership
We know every family’s circumstances are different. By keeping communication open and working collaboratively, we can make sure each pupil receives the support they need to thrive.
