Attendance

Excellent attendance at school is important to allow your child to fulfill their potential and for them to have the best possible start in life. 

Below are just some of the key reasons why it is so important children attend school:

• to learn
• to have fun and make new friends
• to understand responsibility
• to experience new things in life
• to develop awareness of other cultures, religions, ethnicity and gender difference
• to achieve
• to gain qualifications
• to develop new skills
• to build confidence and self-esteem
• to grow as individuals! 

Attendance is a key priority for our school. We monitor pupil attendance closely and work with pupils and families to ensure any barrier is removed to allow all pupils to access learning in school.

It is extremely important that families contact the school office to inform of any medical absence or reasons for late arrival to school. Please be aware that arrival to school after 8.50am will be marked as being late. Holidays within term time are recognised as unauthorised absences in most cases.
