Absence
If your child is unable to attend school for
any reason, please contact the school office
by 9:30 on the first day of absence to let us
know.
if
your
child
has
sickness
or
diarrhoea, we ask that they don’t return to
school for 48 hours in line with advice from
Public Health England.
Punctuality
The school day begins at 8:55 and we ask
that children arrive promptly to ensure a
positive start to their learning. Children who
arrive late must be brought into the school
by their parent/carer, who will be asked to
give a reason for the lateness and sign in
the child. Any late attendance is recorded
on the end of year school report to parents.
Persistant lateness could result in a fine
from the Local Authority.
Attendance
Regular attendance has a positive impact
on a child reaching their full potential and
brings benefits to their emotional and
social well-being.

expectation
for
pupil’s
attendance is over 96%
