Regular attendance is a key factor to children achieving their very best whilst at school and this means being in school, on time every day. Parental attitude is a key influence on a child\u2019s school attendance and there is much they can do to encourage, even reluctant pupils, to attend. We will work with and support parents to ensure pupils are in school every day ready to learn. Every day counts!<\/p><p><strong>Pioneer Rationale<\/strong><\/p><p>All Pioneer schools seek to ensure that every pupil receives a full-time education. We expect all children on roll to attend every day, when the school is in session as long as they are fit and healthy enough to do so. We believe that the most important factor in promoting good attendance is the development of positive attitudes towards school. Research demonstrates a clear link between good attainment and good attendance. We strive to make all of our schools a happy and rewarding experience for all children. We will also make the best provision we can for those children who, due to ill health, are prevented from coming to school.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home | Our School |Motto, Vision, Expectations Motto, Vision, Expectations Home | Our School | Motto, Vision, Expectations Motto, Vision, Expectations Respect Aspiration Honesty Tolerance Caring Responsibility Back Our Vision [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-512","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=512"}],"version-history":[{"count":82,"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10026,"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/512\/revisions\/10026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ightham.kent.sch.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
