Attendance

Parents are responsible for ensuring that their children attend school regularly and on time.
This is a legal requirement.

Absence from school
Children must attend school unless it is absolutely unavoidable. If your child is absent from school, please contact the school office between 8:00 and 8:40am. If we do not receive notification we will contact you to confirm the absence.
The school does not support holidays during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. All parents requesting an “exceptional leave in term time request” form must make an appointment to see the Headteacher first.

Punctuality
It is very important that the children arrive to school on time so that:
1. They take part in all of the learning opportunities for the day with complete focus and without interruption from late arrivals.
2. Teachers can teach the best possible lessons without complete focus and without interruption from late arrivals.

Family holidays
Family holidays are not permitted during term time unless in exceptional circumstances. As a school we follow the government’s guidance on family holidays, a copy of which can be obtained from the school office. If you have any queries about the exceptional circumstances please make an appointment to see the Headteacher.
