The difficulties may then be addressed through the involvement of a learning mentor; a referral for specialist behaviour support through the Outreach Inclusion Service; through our Family Support Worker, Claudine Williams,
• The school has an attendance policy. Attendance of every child is monitored on a daily basis by the school. Lateness and absence are recorded and our Attendance officer liaises with the Headteacher. We may contact the Lewisham Attendance and Welfare service when attendance becomes a concern. Various incentive schemes are used to promote positive attendance throughout the school including the presentation of individual certificates.
