Require schools to stop excluding children from attendance rewards — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.
We want the Government to introduce national guidance requiring primary schools in England to stop publicly excluding children from classroom treats and activities based on 100% attendance. Schools should use inclusive reward systems that consider illness, disability and special educational needs.
Children can be excluded from classroom treats for not achieving 100% attendance, even when absences are due to illness or circumstances beyond their control. This can be distressing, especially for pupils with SEND or disabilities. Schools should reward attendance without publicly excluding others or harming children's wellbeing.
