Attendance

Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Children learn new things at school every day – missing school puts them behind.

We want our children to have a great education and the building blocks for this begin with children coming to school, all day, every day, on time.                                                                                                                      

Good attendance is important because:

  • Statistics show a direct link between under-achievement and poor attendance
  • Regular attendees make better progress, both socially and academically
  • Regular attendees find school routines and schoolwork easier to cope with
  • Regular attendees find learning more satisfying
  • Regular attendees have an easier transfer to secondary school

As a parent you can help us by:

  • Ringing on the first and every morning of all absences with the reason and saying when the child will return
  • Arranging dental and doctor’s appointments out of school hours or during school breaks
  • Keeping us updated by telephone or letter if your child has an extended period of absence due to illness

We shall:

  • Follow up all absences by phone calls and letters as soon as possible
  • Remind parents/carers of the importance of regular attendance and punctuality in newsletters, dojo, website and the Home-School agreement
  • Let you know if we have concerns regarding your child’s attendance
  • Support you in regularly attendance by strengthening communication. 

Illness

We understand that as a parent or carer, deciding whether your child is well enough for school can sometimes be difficult. Your child's health and well-being are top priorities, and we want to support you in making the best decisions for their health, as well as their education. To assist you, we’ve provided helpful guidance from the NHS on common childhood illnesses, symptoms to look out for, and when it’s best to keep your child at home. You can access this trusted advice here.

Remember, we're here to help and support you in ensuring your child’s health and success at school.
