Not able to click Checkbox Element using Python Selenium integration

Question

I am trying to iterate over pages having a program List and then I have to select checkbox defined in an image below in order to get the run length of a loop on-page.

But when I am trying to navigate over pages via the next button it will stop clicking on checkboxes and throws me below error.

I have tried with xpath,css selector and id method But all get failed.

DOM element SS along with checkbox highlighted

Line of Code Used-

CheckBoxclick = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#workflow_table > thead > tr > th.first.checkbox-column.checkbox > input"))).click()

Error:-

   File "D:/Vipul Garg Backup/XXXX/TestingPardotExportProgramsData.py", line 74, in <module>
    ProgramsPathlist = getDataForPrograms(RecordsonOnePage,totalnofpages)
  File "D:/Vipul Garg Backup/XXXX/TestingPardotExportProgramsData.py", line 63, in getDataForPrograms
    RecordsonOnePage = getrecordsoNpage()
  File "D:/Vipul Garg Backup/XXXX/TestingPardotExportProgramsData.py", line 42, in getrecordsoNpage

  File "C:\Users\Vipul.Garg\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 633, in _execute
    return self._parent.execute(command, params)
  File "C:\Users\Vipul.Garg\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute

    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
  (Session info: chrome=80.0.3987.122)

But Above Line of Code is Working Intermetantly and throwing error as above.
Any suggestions for this line of code replacement as why I am getting such inconsistency.

@debanjan B I have gone through a mentioned discussion and I have tried to implement the same but getting error-->raise MaxRetryError(_pool, url, error or ResponseError(cause))urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=58203): Max retries exceeded with url: /session/55249a6d074546bf325b41dd87f5d62e/url (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000002DB8C63BBC8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it')) — Vipul_Garg

You are using ID of the Table and checkbox is inside that table, so you need to pass locator of the check box.

As there is no id defined for the checkbox, so using xpath to reach the locator like - //input[@type='checkbox']

i have tried these options driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="workflow_table"]/thead/tr/th[1]/input').click(), WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@type='checkbox']"))).click(). But nothing worked out

Driver is working Fine and it is Compatible with current Python + Selenium.

I am using Python version as 3.7 and Selenium driver version-3.141.0 and Chrome driver version-81.0.4044.20. I have changed my question and error stack trace a bit, please have a look.
