Attendance

The school expects daily attendance wherever possible. It is essential for your child's success at school. Here is a link from Gov.uk for advice on attendance and how it matters:

There is no entitlement to time off during term time for holidays. Leave of absence during term time is only allowed at the discretion of the Headteacher in accordance with the school Attendance Policy. If you wish to request a term time absence, please read our policy and then complete a Leave of Absence Request form.

Mrs O'Dell (Pastoral Support Lead) also has responsibility for supporting school attendance. Should your child approach persistent absence (90% or less), Mrs O'Dell will reach out to you and offer her support, in the first instance.
