Attendance and Punctuality

As a school we know the importance that attendance has on a pupil’s achievement and attainment. Research suggests that students whose attendance drops below 90% significantly underachieve when compared with students whose attendance is 95% or above.

Students have an attendance Target of 96%

We will work in partnership with parents / carers to ensure that every student can meet their potential. It is crucial therefore that students attend school each and every day. Your support in ensuring this happens would be greatly appreciated.

Medical and dental appointments should be made outside of school hours unless it is a medical / dental emergency. We require evidence of ALL medical / dental appointments and students should present these to the school reception.

Please note that if your child is absent this should be reported to the school office before 8:30am.
