At Glan Usk Primary School, we recognise that regular attendance is vital for every child’s learning, wellbeing, and future success. 

 We are committed to working in partnership with families to promote positive attendance and ensure that every child has the best possible opportunity to thrive.

In 2024, we co-constructed our cluster-wide attendance policy, which we follow consistently across all settings. This policy includes an agreed tiered approach (as shown in the image below) to support families and address any attendance concerns proactively. Our target is 92%, but we strive for 95% to maximise learning opportunities for all pupils.

We understand that attendance can be challenging when a child is unwell, and we appreciate the efforts families make to keep us informed. However, every school day counts, and we encourage families to work with us to build positive attendance habits. Where possible, please book appointments and holidays outside of school hours and term time to minimise disruption to learning. If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please notify us as soon as possible via our school phone 01633 259445.

Communication is key, and we value open conversations with families to support good attendance. 

Together, we can ensure that all children have the best chance to succeed.
