Attendance

At Vase Academy, we believe that regular attendance is one of the most important factors in helping pupils make progress — both academically and personally.

Every day in school provides:

• Structured learning and routine
• Opportunities to build positive relationships
•  Support for emotional regulation and resilience
• Access to targeted interventions and therapeutic support
• Preparation for adulthood, independence and future pathways

For pupils with additional needs, consistency is especially important. Predictable routines, familiar adults and structured support help reduce anxiety and build confidence. When attendance is strong, pupils are better able to engage with learning, develop social skills, and achieve their individual EHCP targets.

If a pupil is struggling to attend, we encourage families to be transparent and speak with us early. Together, we can put strategies in place — whether that means phased returns, pastoral support, therapeutic input, or adjustments to the school day.

Good attendance builds strong foundations for success. By working together, we can ensure every pupil has the opportunity to thrive.
