Attendance/Absence

Regular attendance at school promotes pupils’ wellbeing, maximises progress in learning and helps children to reach their potential. Attendance for all children is monitored on a weekly basis, with the school seeking to actively work with parents to ensure a regular attendance is maintained.

Medical appointments, where possible, should be made outside of school hours. You may be asked to show your appointment letter at the school office.

If your child has suffered from sickness or diarrhoea they must not return to school for 48 hours from the last bout, as they may still be contagious. If you are unsure as to whether your child is well enough to attend school, please look at the guidance on the following link Is my child too ill for school? – NHS

Please note that any holidays taken in term time will be unauthorised.

Teachers are unable to provide work for children to complete whilst on holiday.

We will of course do our best to help your child catch up on missed learning when they return to school.

You must notify school via a Leave of Absence form a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the absence, should you wish to take your child out of school. You can collect a form from either school offices or use the link below:
