At Kestrel Mead Primary Academy we work hard to ensure all children to reach their full potential. We aim to promote positive attendance and learning habits in order for all children to maximise their achievements both academically and personally.

We know that pupils with good attendance:

  • Achieve better
  • Feel happier
  • Gain confidence
  • Find it easier to make and keep friends
