Attendance at school is vital to a child's development. Every child has a right to education and in order to fulfil their personal potential and to ensure their academic and social wellbeing and success, they should attend school every day.

Your child is expected to attend school 100% of the time unless there is a valid acceptable reason for their absence.  Family holidays are not considered as valid acceptable reasons.  Any child whose attendance falls below 90% is considered a Persistent Absentee and parents will be contacted by the Pastoral Team in order to work to ensure your child's attendance improves..  Attendance figures are closely monitored by a member of the Senior Leadership Team and poor attendance is considered a safeguarding matter.

The 2020/21 figures do not include Covid-19 illness absence. The current school figure do include Covid-19 illness absence.
