Stop recognising 100% Attendance Awards as a means of tackling poor attendance.
100% Attendance Awards should be identified as discriminatory and a potential for inciting bullying. National and school attendance strategies should support struggling families but not penalise or demonise sick children. The DofE and Ofsted must identify such awards as not fit for purpose.
100% attendance schemes are detrimental to school life:
• they demonstrate exclusion, not inclusion, by discounting children with disabilities or chronic conditions
• they encourage children to view their peers with disabilities as weak and detrimental to class targets
• they encourage children to go to school sick and spread infections
• they do not foster or recognise important characteristics of determination, persistence or hard work.
• parents are responsible for attendance, not children
