At Lenthall Infant & Nursery School, we know that good attendance is built on strong relationships and open communication. We understand that every child and every family is unique, and we are committed to working alongside parents and carers to ensure that all children have the best possible opportunity to attend school regularly and thrive.

If you have any concerns about your child's attendance, punctuality, wellbeing or school experience, we encourage you to speak to us as early as possible. Often, small worries can be resolved quickly when support is offered at the right time.

Our Attendance Champion works closely with families to understand barriers, celebrate successes and provide practical support when needed.

As Attendance Champion, Mrs Moody leads the school's commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to attend, achieve and thrive.

Mrs Moody works closely with children, families, staff and external agencies to:

✅ Promote positive attendance habits

✅ Celebrate attendance success and improvement

✅ Provide early support when concerns arise

✅ Help identify and remove barriers to attendance

✅ Develop Attendance Action Plans where needed

✅ Coordinate support for children and families

✅ Ensure every child feels safe, valued and included

At Lenthall, we believe that attendance is not simply about numbers—it's about children feeling happy, secure and ready to learn each day.

When Should I Get in Touch?

Please contact Mrs Moody if:

📌 Your child is reluctant to attend school

📌 You are worried about anxiety or emotional wellbeing

📌 There are family circumstances affecting attendance

📌 Your child has medical needs impacting attendance

📌 You would like support before attendance becomes a concern

📌 You are unsure how school can help

No concern is too small.

We would always rather have an early conversation and offer support than allow a small concern to become a bigger worry.
