Attendance and Punctuality
Good attendance is very important for every child, and it is a responsibility shared by parents/carers, children and staff. Through regular attendance, pupils gain both educationally and socially by taking a full part in school life with their friends.
We need to ensure that pupils attend school as regularly as possible – every day really matters. It may be necessary for children to be absent due to illness or for some other reason. In this event, parents/carers are asked to inform the school by telephone as soon as possible.
Punctuality, too, is very important: children who arrive late are missing vital sections of their own education and disrupt that of other pupils. If a child needs to leave school early due to a medical appointment, parents/carers are requested to tell the school in advance. On the day of the appointment, parents/carers should report to the school office, where they will be asked to sign their child out of school.
Holidays during school time are not allowed, by law, except under exceptional circumstances. Good attendance is rewarded both weekly and termly.
All parents/carers are provided with a copy of the school’s Attendance and Punctuality Policy.
