Attendance

Attendance and Punctuality 

Regular and punctual attendance is an essential prerequisite to effective learning. Failing to attend school regularly can have a major impact on children’s education, their future and their life chances. Regular attendance means attending school every day, arriving at school on time and attending every lesson. 

If your child is unwell: 

It is the responsibility of the parent to inform the academy of a student absence and also to inform us of any changes to contact details. Parents/Carers are asked to contact the Academy before 08:30am on EACH day that their child is absent, informing of a reason for absence and when their child will be returning to the academy. 

See NHS guidance here: Is my child too ill for school? – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Holidays during term time will not be authorised except in exceptional circumstances.
