We need every child to be an Attendance Hero because MOMENTS MATTER!
If a child is not in school learning, then they are not being given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
We encourage every child to attend a full day of school, every day that we are open. Absences soon add up and any child with below 90% attendance, regardless of the reason for the absence, is considered to be a persistent absentee. Persistent absentees are less likely to achieve their full potential and may be referred to the Education Welfare Officer.
We also encourage children to arrive promptly each day to minimise disruption to both themselves and the rest of the class. School drop-off starts from 8.40am and children need to be in school by 8.50am to start their lessons. Parents must drop off their child at the gates where a member of staff will be present
Registers open at 8.50am and any child arriving between 8.50am and 9.00am will be marked as late. Any child arriving after 9.00am will be marked as having an unauthorised absence
If your child is not going to be in school you must let the office know by 9.00am please
If you are facing difficulties getting your child into school for any reason, it is important to discuss this with School at the earliest opportunity - we are here to help!
