Attendance

Good attendance and punctuality at Lake Farm Park Academy (LFPA) is vital for all pupils’ education and safeguarding. Good attendance - 96%, establishes a positive working ethos early in life. For our pupils to gain the greatest benefit from their education, it is vital that they attend school every day, unless the reason for absence is unavoidable. It is also very important for pupils’ wellbeing that they arrive on time every day.

All children should arrive ready to enter classrooms promptly:

KS2 at 8.45am

KS1/ EYFS 8.50am (8:45am soft start)
