Attendance
Regular school attendance is crucial to maximise pupil progress and enjoyment of learning. We take a whole-school approach to securing good attendance, and recognise the impact that our efforts in other areas – such as the curriculum, behaviour standards, bullying, SEND support, pastoral support, and the effective use of resources such as pupil premium – can have on improving pupil attendance.
That national average for pupil attendance is 96% which means on average a child misses approximately 7.5 days of school a year.
What do I need to do if my child needs to be absent from school?
You should contact the school office as early as possible to explain why your child is not in school.
Leave of Absence
All parents can request a ‘leave of absence’ for specific medical appointments (routine check-ups should be made outside of school hours where possible), religious holidays and exceptional circumstance which gives them permission to be absent from school. This should be done at the earliest opportunity. The decision regarding exceptional circumstance is made by the headteacher once they have considered the specific facts and circumstances behind the request. Permission for a holiday during term time will not be approved unless there are genuinely exceptional circumstances.
