Attendance

Good attendance at school is essential if students are to reach their full potential. We follow common procedures with our Family Group of Schools on attendance. We expect parents to work with the school to ensure full attendance. We expect parents to telephone to tell us if their child is ill on the first day of absence. In addition we use an automated absence system to contact you directly if your child is marked absent at morning registration. It will enable you to respond, if your child is away with good reason, giving the reason for absence and saving you writing a note.

Although the Headteacher is permitted to authorise absence of up to two weeks in any school year for an appropriate reason, we recommend that parents arrange holidays in school holiday times, to have the smallest possible impact on students' education.

We will involve the Educational Welfare Officer in every case where we have concerns about a student's attendance.
