Several Cumbria Education Trust (CET) schools have been awarded a National Attendance Award by FFT for high attendance in the Spring Term.
FFT collects daily attendance data from over 10,000 schools. This data helps schools track, monitor and compare their attendance every week. The awards have been given to schools with attendance in the top 10% and top 25% of all FFT schools nationally for the 2023/24 Spring Term. It also awards the top 10% and top 25% attendance certificates to schools in similar circumstances (based on the percentage of Free School Meals).
Congratulations to the following schools for their incredible attendance:
Castle Carrock Primary School
Top 10% of all primary schools

Caldew Lea Primary School
Top 25% of similar primary schools

The awards are an acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of staff, pupils, parents and carers in achieving excellent attendance during the Spring Term. .
CET runs an attendance project to aid other schools in improving their attendance. Around 70 schools across Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness participate in this project, which includes CET sharing their policies and practices in increasing attendance across primary and secondary schools.
