Attendance news below - visit our dedicated attendance page for the latest updates.
We often look at weekly attendance awards, but how does attendance look compared to the national picture, what are we doing well, and what could be done better? Attendance and punctuality are key to a good education and preparation for life beyond school. High attendance is linked to high outcomes. Pupils whose weeks are peppered with days off often have greater gaps in knowledge and skills, even when they 'catch-up' afterwards.
Attendance has been above 96% for 13/16 (81%) of classes at Dosthill this week.
Our Trust recently ran a parents’ survey for all its schools via a company called Edurio. The survey asked standard questions and was completely anonymous.
In a vibrant display of literary love, pupils at Dosthill Primary Academy wholeheartedly embraced World Book Day 2024. The school staff, eager to celebrate the magic of stories that transport us to different worlds, were thrilled by the enthusiastic participation.
Dosthill pupils have recently made their mark in cross-town sporting events, demonstrating exceptional talent and sportsmanship. Upper Key-Stage 2 pupils participated in inter-school competitions, bringing home impressive results.
Well done to all award winners this week - including a special award for school.
A great start to the second half-term.
You know that parent voice matters here at Dosthill Primary Academy and to the wider Feirté Trust. We'll be sending out a link to this survey later today - it would be brilliant to get a 100% response rate - we do tend to do well with surveys and always act on feedback.
We used this story in assembly with Y4, 5, and 6 pupils on Tuesday 20th February
