Attendance

 We would like to remind you of our expectations around attendance at school.  Our attendance targets for all children and our whole school are above 96% and we are confident that if we work together, we can achieve this goal.

As you will remember the new National Framework for Penalty Notices came into force last year, for Penalty Notices issued of the 19th of August 2024, and we are trying to reduce the number of families who meet the criteria within this framework.

Below are two very important pieces of information, that we encourage you to read and follow. 

To help you with this, we would like to remind you of the following things:

  • Holidays in term time are not authorised, and you may be fined.
  • School doors open at 8:35am and we expect all children to be in school by 8:45am each day.
  • If your child is genuinely ill and cannot attend school, please contact school by 8:35am to let us know.
  • If your child has an appointment to attend, please let the office see a copy of the letter, appointment card or text message, so that they can authorise the absence.
  • If your child has 8 sessions of unauthorised absence in an 8-week period, you will receive a notice to improve.
  • If your child has 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in a 10-week period, you will receive a penalty notice.
  • You will receive letters periodically throughout the year when your child’s attendance drops below a certain level – this is to inform you, and give you the opportunity to improve or seek support.
  • You might be invited attendance panel meetings – this is to help identify where we can help you.

If you are struggling with your child’s attendance, there are many ways that we or other services can support you.  Please let us know about any difficulties as soon as you identify them.
