Every child has the right to receive a high-quality education, and we expect all our pupils to attend school every possible day. At Willoughby Road Primary Academy we are committed to the improvement and sustainability of excellent attendance, and therefore are proactive in tackling poor attendance.

Our overarching aim is to achieve and maintain a whole school target of at least 97% and to have minimal levels of persistent absence. The academy works in close partnership with parents/carers and extended services to improve attendance and therefore raise achievement for every child.

We love rewards at Willoughby Road and never need an excuse to celebrate excellence! All of our attendance rewards were decided by pupils through democratic pupil voting systems and are organised and managed by our pupil leadership team, the Willoughby Road Attendance Ambassadors.

Look at some of the exciting events our pupil leadership team, the Willoughby Road Attendance Ambassadors, have organised to celebrate 100% attendance! You can find photographs of the special events and updates on our attendance in the weekly newsletter.
