There is a well documented relationship between attendance and achievement at school. We expect all children to attend school every day that classes are provided. The only reasons for not attending are medical and genuine emergencies. Families should strive not to plan family holidays during term times and should always request leave in advance of any planned absence.

An attendance roll is taken at the start of each morning and afternoon session (Primary) and every lesson (Secondary). Families should advise the school when children are not able to attend. The school will contact families in the case of unexplained absences.
