Lewis leaves school with perfect attendance record
100 per cent attendance for five years
16 year old Lewis Brown has marked a remarkable 100% attendance record during his five years at Nova Hreod Academy by not missing a day of school since 2010.
Lewis says he is lucky that he’s never been ill on a school day. In his 4 years at Even Swindon Primary School his attendance record was over 98%. His mum Wendy, who runs a pre-school, also has an exemplary attendance record, as does his sister Emily, who currently has a 100% attendance record in her two years at Nova Hreod.
Penny King, Head of Year 11 said: “This is such an extraordinary achievement and we are very proud of Lewis for his dedication, it shows great strength of character and a can-do attitude, which will make any job application stand out.”
This is the second year in a row that Nova Hreod Academy has celebrated 100% attendance over five years; in 2014 Jade O’Toole became the first Nova student with an unblemished record since the 1990s.
Principal Darren Barton said “All teachers know that there is a clear link between attendance and achievement, therefore I cannot commend Lewis enough on not missing a day of school. This achievement is one which Lewis, the school and the wider community should be justifiably proud of. We value attendance very highly at Nova Hreod Academy and Lewis is an excellent role model for the future generations of Nova Hreod students.”
Lewis is going on to study Catering at Swindon College, with a work placement at the National Trust.
