Attendance seems to be a big problem in all schools, whether it is down to lateness, illness or other family related problems. This is a something that needs tackling across the city as a whole . The Aquinas Foundation have been very busy providing schools across Nottinghamshire with Mountain bikes in order to raise attainment and lower truancy.  Aquinas want to encourage every pupil to aim for 100% attendance, we want to help the schools to reward the children who fit into this criteria and also the children who have a 50% or more improved attendance and punctuality record over the year.

“Hadden Park High School in Bilborough is grateful to the Aquinas Foundation for the donation of two Land Rover Mountain bikes to be used as prizes for attendance. Every pupil will receive a raffle ticket for a full weeks attendance until the end of the summer term at which point the raffle will be drawn. The central message is that you have to be in school to maximise your chances of winning in the same way that coming to school everyday maximises your chances in GCSE’s and preparation for college.”Julien Ennis
