Attendance
At Westfield, attendance is very important. Our target attendance each week is 97%.
Please encourage your child to attend school every day!
Westfield has an excellent record of attendance and punctuality. All pupils are encouraged to adopt good time keeping.
We realise that families may have to take pupils out of school on extended visits abroad from time to time, but this must be done during school holiday times if possible.
Pupils check their personal record of attendance and punctuality weekly with their form teacher.
The attendance for all classes during 2024/2025 was 94.2%.
Unauthorised absence 1.7%
