Attendance Rewards – Every Day Matters!
At Haslam Park Primary School, we believe that excellent attendance deserves to be recognised, celebrated and encouraged!
We love a little healthy competition and have a fantastic range of rewards throughout the year to motivate our children, celebrate their commitment and recognise the importance of being in school every day they are well enough to attend.
Our Exciting Attendance Rewards
🏆 Weekly Class Attendance Trophy
Every week, the class with the highest attendance and punctuality wins our special attendance trophy, filled with treats! It's a fantastic way to celebrate teamwork and encourage everyone to make every school day count.
🎡 100% Attendance Spinning Wheel
Every child who achieves 100% attendance during the week has their name entered into our exciting spinning-wheel draw. Three lucky children are selected each week to choose a special prize!
🎁 Surprise Rewards Throughout the Year
We love keeping our children excited about attendance! Throughout the school year, we also offer surprise prizes, special celebrations and additional opportunities to recognise excellent and improving attendance. We notice when children and their families are trying really hard and reward this.
Celebrating Every Child – An Inclusive Approach
At Haslam Park, we have high expectations for attendance, but we also recognise that fairness does not always mean treating every child in exactly the same way.
As an inclusive school with a high proportion of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), we understand that some pupils have complex medical conditions, disabilities or additional needs which can make achieving 100% attendance difficult or, in some circumstances, impossible.
We would never want a child to feel excluded from celebrating attendance because of genuine medical needs or circumstances beyond their control.
That is why we consider individual circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Children who demonstrate excellent attendance relative to their individual circumstances, make significant improvements or overcome substantial barriers to attending school can also be recognised and included in our attendance celebrations and rewards.
We work closely with families to understand individual needs, make reasonable adjustments where appropriate and ensure that our rewards are fair, inclusive and motivating.
We also recognise that some children and families work incredibly hard to maintain regular attendance despite significant challenges. Their commitment deserves to be celebrated too.
Our goal is not simply to reward perfect attendance. It is to recognise effort, celebrate improvement, encourage positive attendance habits and ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
At Haslam Park, our expectations remain high for everyone, but our approach is always shaped by our understanding of each child.
Every day matters. Every effort counts. Every child deserves to be celebrated!
Together we explore, learn and grow.
