Attendance Reminders
Thank you again for your role in our consistently improving attendance figures which have continued to improve throughout this term. Please see below for some brief reminders regarding our attendance and absence procedures.
- Where possible, please book medical, dental, or optician appointments for the late afternoon or during school holidays. If an appointment during the day is necessary, make sure your child attends school before and/or after the slot rather than taking the entire day off (where this is possible). Whilst most medical or dental appointments will be authorised this still does affect students' overall attendance percentage. Please ensure that we are made aware of appointments in advance. This will avoid unnecessary delays should you need to pick up your child during the school day.
- Could we please ask you to reinforce to your child that they should not contact parents themselves if they are feeling ill during the school day. We recognise that children often want to speak to their parents in the first instance when they are feeling unwell but for their own safety this must be done through the school office.
Many thanks for your support with our continued commitment to improving attendance.
