Regular attendance and punctuality are vital in order for children to reach their full potential. We aim to work with children and parents in promoting and celebrating good attendance and punctuality.  On the first day of absence, please ring or get a message into school to let us know why your child is unable to attend. Days off school for shopping, birthdays etc are not allowed. The school Governors do not authorise holidays that are taken during term time.

Try to make medical appointments for after school hours where possible. Failing that, an early morning or late afternoon appointment means that your child does not miss a whole day of school.

It is important that your child arrives at school and is collected from school on time. When children are punctual for school it is more likely that they will be responsive and calm for the start of lessons. If children are late for school it can be worrying for them, as they know that they will be missing important work.

Parents must inform staff if somebody different is going to be collecting their child at the end of the day. In order to keep your child safe, we will not allow them to leave with a different person unless we have been informed.
