We are absolutely thrilled to announce a remarkable achievement! For the Spring Term, we’ve been awarded the prestigious FFT (Fischer Family Trust) Attendance Award, placing us not only in the top 25% of schools with similar contexts but, incredibly, in the top 25% of all the FFT Secondary Schools.

This dual recognition truly underscores our outstanding commitment to fostering a consistent and positive learning environment. It highlights the dedication of our students, our amazing staff, and the wider school community here at Wilnecote.

The FFT Attendance Award is highly regarded within the education sector, using robust data analysis to identify schools that demonstrate exceptional attendance figures. While many schools achieve recognition for their efforts within their specific demographic or challenges, our accomplishment of securing a spot in the national top 25% is particularly noteworthy and something we are immensely proud of.

“We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly proud to receive this double award from FFT,” said Mr. Foskett, our Headteacher. “This award is a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved – our fantastic students who consistently strive to be in school, our dedicated staff who create an engaging and supportive atmosphere, and our parents and carers who work in partnership with us to ensure high attendance.”

Miss Daniels, our Attendance Officer, added, “Our success is built on a multifaceted approach. We’ve focused on proactive communication with families, providing targeted support for students facing barriers to attendance, maintaining an engaging curriculum, implementing positive behaviour strategies, and fostering a strong sense of community. This holistic effort has truly made the difference for us.”

Achieving high attendance is crucial for academic success and student well-being, and it’s something we prioritize deeply. Regular school attendance ensures our students benefit fully from the curriculum, build strong relationships with peers and teachers, and develop essential social and emotional skills.

This significant achievement serves as a powerful endorsement of our ongoing efforts to provide an exceptional educational experience. We look forward to continuing to build on this success, ensuring every student at Wilnecote has the opportunity to thrive.
