School attendance

I found out this morning that last week the average attendance rate across all Hampshire primary schools was 27.8%. Last week at St Martin's we had 38.8% of children in school and this week that has increased to 58.1%. Based on the plans currently in place, by the summer holidays, we are expecting over 85% of our children to have spent some time in school. I felt incredibly proud of what we have achieved as a school when I saw the Hampshire figure and wanted to share the information and take the opportunity to thank the governors, the staff and everyone in the St Martin's community who has worked so hard to make this possible.
