At Thames View Bridge School we believe that attendance and punctuality are key in ensuring children make rapid and sustained progress.
Our attendance and punctuality targets are deliberately set to be aspirational and challenging because we want to promote excellent attendance and punctuality habits for all pupils.
The Barking and Dagenham Attendance Team works with our Welfare Officer to advise on attendance management issues and to take referrals on pupils who attend irregularly.
Attendance Officers visit parents and pupils in their homes and undertake assessments of the causes of poor school attendance and then identify strategies and action plans to resolve difficulties and improve school attendance.
Please call the school before 8:30am if your child is unable to attend school.
When reporting a child’s absence via phone call please include: –
Child’s name
Class
Reason for absence
