We pride ourselves on our attendance record.  We understand the importance of being in school every day and arriving on time.  We believe that regular attendance at school is key to enabling pupils to progress and enjoy learning and ultimately ensures that our children have the maximum life chances.

To encourage good attendance we will:

• monitor attendance regularly and liaise with families if there are any concerns;
• support families in ensuring that their children attend school regularly.

Parents/Carers are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and up-to-date contact details
• Providing the school with three emergency contact numbers
• Updating the school if their details change
• The attendance of their children at school
• Promoting good attendance with their children
• Proactively engaging with any attendance support offered by the school and the LA
• Notifying the school as soon as possible when their child has to be unexpectedly absent
• Requesting leave of absence only in exceptional circumstances, and in advance
• Booking any medical and dental appointments around school where possible
• Following any family-based support implemented by the school to improve attendance

Please complete the form below 'Leave of Absence Request Form' and return to the school office, if you wish to request permission for an unavoidable absence, e.g.  medical appointments, family emergency, etc...
