Attendance and Term Dates

Attendance

We believe that good attendance is essential if children are to take full advantage of school and gain the educational and social skills which will equip them for life. The school aims to achieve good attendance by operating an attendance policy where staff, pupils, parents and the Local Attendance Officer can work in partnership. We will monitor attendance and work quickly to solve any identified problems. The staff will encourage good attendance and will liaise with families and other agencies when this is appropriate. Good attendance is seen as an achievement in its own right.
We know that when children miss school, they miss out on so much learning and special times with their friends.  

Our target for good attendance is 97%, the table below shows clearly how a few days of absence can really make a difference to this percentage. However, we know that by working together, ensuring children are in school each day (unless they are unwell), they will not miss out on vital learning experiences.

 

 

 

If your child is ill, please ring the Office on the first day of absence. If you do not ring us, we will ring you to ensure your child is safe. If you need to pick your child up during the day for an appointment, you must come to the school office to sign your child out of school.
As you will be aware there are strict guidelines which we must follow when authorising absence. Please see our Attendance and Punctuality Policy.


Use this Leave of Absence Request Form if you wish to request term time off for your child.
