Attendance

Your child's attendance at school is extremely important. We aim for all children to have 100% attendance and expect at least 95%.

Pupils should arrive on time: school begins at 8.45 am. We open the gates between 8.40am and 8.50am.

Please contact the school office if your child is absent.

To encourage good attendance we celebrate attendance weekly, half-termly, termly and annually.

Where children's attendance or punctuality is a concern, we will try to address this in a number of ways:

we will phone or write to you so that you are aware of our concern;
if attendance or punctuality continues to be a concern we will ask you to meet with us to see how we can support an improvement;
the local authority may become formally involved;
in cases of very poor attendance, the local authority may recommend legal action.

Further information is available in our Attendance Policy within the policies section of our website.
