Attendance:

Overall last year we had a success story in terms of attendance and punctuality. The final figure for the year was over 95% and lates were at an all-time low. Thank you for the effort you have made to achieve this. Without your children in school we can’t help them progress in their reading, writing or maths. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that:

• Parents and carers should ring the school on the morning of the first day of absence to let us know if your child is going to be off through illness
• If your child is suffering from vomiting or diarrhea they should not attend school until 48 hours have passed since the last incident
• No holidays will authorised during term time unless there are truly exceptional circumstances.
• Mrs Taylor will closely monitor attendance and contact you if a pattern of absence/lateness is noted so that we can offer support and keep you informed.
• If necessary the Educational Welfare Officer will be informed

So that we can help and support you, please ensure we are kept informed of your family circumstances.
