Another Two Attendance Awards for Sacred Heart Hammersmith!

You may know that after Covid there was a significant drop in school attendance nationally and we were no exception.  Since then we have worked tirelessly to reverse this, introducing a new Attendance and Punctuality Policy and creating and staffing a whole new inclusion centre.

School Performance including attendance is tracked nationally by an organisation called the Fisher Family Trust (FFT) and we have just received two more awards from them as being in the top 10% of their data set nationally (and another for being in the top 10% of a different category of similar schools).

Our whole school attendance level is now at 93% as compared with all London secondary schools at 91% and nationally 90.5%.  We continue to strive to get this even higher - our minimum attendance target is 96%. It may seem obvious but there is a direct correlation between attendance in school and final exam grades.  Even small increases in attendance can have a significant impact on outcomes; and to help all our students achieve the very best that they can, we will not let up on our priority to raise attendance even higher.

'These awards celebrate the hard work and commitment of your staff, pupils, parents and carers in promoting excellent attendance and your school has stood out in both the autumn and spring terms of 2024/25.  It’s our way of saying a huge thank you for everything you’re doing to improve pupil attendance and support your school community. Congratulations on your well-deserved double-achievement!   Fischer Family Trust
