Attendance

Attendance

Your child only gets ONE chance at school, and your child’s future will be affected by not attending school regularly.

They will struggle to keep up with school work and it is difficult for schools to find the extra time/staffing to help a child catch up.

Poor attendance will affect a child’s ability to make and keep friendships.

 

As a parent/carer, It is your responsibility to ensure your child attends school regularly.

School have a legal obligation to refer children with poor attendance to the Local Authority Educational Welfare Officer.

Action will be taken against parents who are not supporting their child(ren) attending school.

You MUST call school before 9.15am every day that your child is going to be absent.

We DO NOT support holidays during term-time.

 

Wherever possible, we would ask that medical appointments be made outside of the school day, although we understand that this is not always possible.
