We know that pupils with good attendance:

Attendance Rewards at Kestrel Mead
We reward children in several ways. They are detailed in the above attendance leaflet. We regularly celebrate good attendance in a few ways across the school.
This year we have continued with incentives to encourage and reward children for their attendance. These include:
Class trips to Boost trampoline park or Rascal Ranch
Weekly stickers for 100%
Yearly badge and prize for all pupils with 100% (pencils, wristbands)
Whole term rewards for 97+% pupils and improved attendance –school discos, ice-cream party and inflatables fun afternoon
We have also introduced termly flash weeks where every child can earn daily rewards if they are in school on time.
We want all our pupils in school, on time, every day to ensure they get the best educational offer and have a chance to win great prizes!
