Attendance
Current Position Summary (September 2025)
Attendance data for 2024-25 indicates that Wyton On The Hill Primary School demonstrates strong attendance performance with an overall attendance rate of 96.3%, which is 1.6% higher than the median of 20 similar schools, ranking 1st among them. Persistent absence stands at 9.6%, which is 2.8% lower than the median, placing the school 3rd in comparison to similar schools. Attendance strengths are notably high on Tuesday mornings and Monday and Tuesday afternoons, outperforming all comparable schools in these sessions. The school context includes higher than average pupil mobility, including pupils from military families, which presents unique challenges for maintaining consistent attendance.
OFSTED comments highlight that pupils settle quickly and feel safe, supported by strong relationships and a welcoming environment. The school’s inclusive ethos and commitment to individual needs contribute positively to attendance and pupil engagement. Leaders ensure attendance is monitored effectively, and behaviour policies support pupils to focus on learning. However, the school faces ongoing challenges related to mixed year groups, staffing capacity, and ensuring sustained support for vulnerable groups, including those with SEND.
Given this context, Wyton On The Hill is well placed to maintain and build upon its attendance success by embedding a strategic plan that targets whole-school culture, targeted support for at-risk pupils, family engagement, and robust monitoring systems aligned with the school’s vision for inclusive, lifelong learning and respectful citizenship.
