Outstanding Attendance: Among the Top 10% Nationally
19th May 2026
At St Mary's, we continue to believe that every day counts, and our students consistently demonstrate this through exceptional attendance. We are proud to be recognised by the Fischer Family Trust (FFT) as being in the top 10% of secondary schools nationally for pupil attendance when compared with similar schools for the Lent Term 2026
This achievement reflects the strong partnership between our staff, students, and families, all working together to ensure that every child has the best possible opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. High attendance is not just a statistic—it is a clear sign of our students’ enthusiasm for learning and their commitment to achieving their full potential.
We have built a culture where:
- Students feel safe, supported, and motivated to attend every day
- Parents understand the importance of regular attendance for academic success
- Staff go above and beyond to provide support for pupils across all subjects and curriculum experiences.
Our proactive approach includes early support for families, clear communication, and celebrating excellent attendance across the school. As a result, our pupils benefit from continuity in learning, stronger progress, and improved outcomes.
Being in the top 10% nationally is a significant achievement, and we remain dedicated to maintaining this high standard while supporting every child to attend regularly and thrive.
