Pupil Premium Attendance Data

The regular attendance of all pupils is a high priority at St. Mary's C.E. Middle School and we regularly monitor attendance to ensure it meets the minimum standard required by the government. The attendance of all pupils eligible to receive pupil premium funding is show below. It is the continuing aim of the school to ensure that the attendance of all groups of pupils is above the 95% threshold set as the minimum standard (as deemed by the DfE for schools deemed secondary schools).
