Bruce Grove Primary School seeks to ensure that all its pupils receive a full-time and appropriate education, which will enable them to achieve their potential.

The school will provide a welcoming and safe environment, where all members of the school community can be socially included, and be active members of the school community.

All school staff will work with pupils and their families to ensure each pupil attends school regularly and punctually.

The school will establish a range of effective strategies to acknowledge the efforts of pupils to improve their attendance and timekeeping and to support and challenge those pupils and parents who give low priority to attendance and punctuality.

To meet these objectives Bruce Grove Primary School will establish an effective and efficient system of communication with pupils, parents and appropriate agencies to provide information, advice and support.

In Haringey, the Education Welfare Service (EWS) is responsible for legal interventions in response to non-school attendance, unauthorised leave of absence during term time (holiday) and persistent lateness. Education Welfare Officers (EWO) work closely with schools to identify early patterns of concern and provide early intervention support.
