Primary School
Part of Every Child Matters Academy TrustRegular attendance is important to your child's success, children are expected to come to school every day.
Attendance and achievement are closely linked and good habits, developed early in life do have an impact on levels of achievement.
If pupils are ill, parents/carers are expected to telephone the school before 8.45am on the first day of absence. We would ask that contact is always made by a parent/carer wherever possible, if we don’t hear from you and we therefore don’t know why your child is absent we will try to contact you.
Registration takes place at 8.45am for all children in the Reception to Year 6 classes, classroom doors are closed at 8.50am and children who arrive after this time must report to the school office.
Nursery sessions start at 9am for morning sessions and at 12.15pm for afternoon sessions. Children attending Nursery for 30 hours also start at 9am.
The NHS and Health Protection Agency issue guidance to schools and other childcare settings recommending the actions to be taken to prevent the spread of infection e.g. recommended periods to be kept away from school. Use the link below to view a copy of this guidance.
We will work with parents and the education welfare service to improve attendance where a pupil's attendance percentage falls below the school’s expectation and becomes a concern.
Leave/Holidays During Term Time
Any absence from school will have an impact on your child’s learning and as such leave/holidays during term are strongly discouraged, where this can’t be avoided you must complete a leave request form (available from the school office).
You will be notified in writing of the schools decision.
