Attendance and Absence
It is expected that many students will improve their school attendance during their placement at Two Bridges School to the national expectation of 93%+ each term.
Any student with below 85% attendance will be closely monitored in conjunction with KCC attendance support staff.
Attendance is monitored closely on a termly basis by the Head Teacher and is reported to students, parents/ carers and the home schools weekly. In addition attendance is a standard item on the Management Committee agenda.
If a student accumulates a number of late marks or shows poor attendance patterns, parents or carers will be informed by letter and this is followed by support strategy meetings in which the local authority agency might need to be involved.
Our current attendance levels for this year show the following:
| Student Cohorts | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17 | 2017-18 | 2018-19 | *2019-20 |

| Female | 83% | 85.1% | 85.1% | 89% | 88% | 66% |
