Attendance
It is a legal requirement for parents to ensure that their child attends school regularly and children should only be absent from school if they are still ill or have been given special permission by the Head Teacher to be absent.
We would hope family holidays could be arranged to coincide with school holidays so that children do not miss any school time unnecessarily. Family holidays will be marked in school as unauthorised absence. No schoolwork will be given, however families are more than welcome to make a diary of their holiday to share with the class on return. Pupils who have been absent should bring a written explanation of their absence. Any pupil who has a doctor / dental appointment during school hours must be signed in/out at the school office.
Frequent, unexplained absences will be construed as non-attendance. The school will work with parents to re-establish normal attendance. If the school and parents’ initiatives fail we will enlist the aid of the Educational Support Service.
