Attendance / Absence Procedures

If your child is ill or will not be attending school you will need to let us know.

Please inform the office by 8.45 am on:

01793 723833

If your child is not in school and you have not informed us, you will receive a message or a phone call from us asking why your child isn't at school. If you then do not respond, a member of the Pastoral Team will follow up our enquiry with a door knock at your child's registered address.

It is important your child attends school all the time. The DfE advise that your child's attendance should be at least 96%. This is the equivalent to missing just 7 days. To see the full impact of missing school please follow the link to Every Day Counts.

Should your child's attendance fall below 90% in any given year, you will receive a letter asking you to attend a meeting to see how we can support you and your child/children in improving their attendance.
