Attendance
Fitzharrys School encourages students to aim for 100% attendance as research shows there is a clear link between excellent attendance and high achievement, and good attendance will be a basic expectation for all our students in their future careers. Students track their attendance on a chart in tutor time, as regular monitoring helps each student to aspire to their very best attendance.
The school has produced a comprehensive guide for parents to help support students' good attendance.
We work hard to recognise good attendance, with rewards given to students at the end of each full term to celebrate the commitment and determination that comes with 100% attendance.
All absences will detract from a student's 100% attendance record but we do understand that occasionally students must have time away from school in cases such as illness, medical appointments or bereavement. We recognise 100% attendance at achievement assemblies not only at the end of the year, but after each full term; winter, spring and summer.
Further guidance can be found on our Absence & Illness and Policies pages.
