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 well-being and success, they should attend school every day.

Your child is expected to attend school 100% of the time unless there is a valid and acceptable reason for their absence.  Family holidays are not considered as valid or acceptable reasons.  Our Pastoral Team will contact the parents of any child whose attendance has fallen below 95%.  Any child whose attendance falls below 90% is a Persistent Absentee. Attendance figures are closely monitored by a member of the Senior Leadership Team and poor attendance is considered a safeguarding matter.

Please see below a snip from the Department for Education dated 20 May 2025 summarising our attendance and absence against all schools nationally.
