Attendance Stages Protocol Attendance Stage 1: If a student’s attendance is at 95% or below, it is identified as a ‘cause for concern’. Contact will be made with parents/carers and medical evidence will be required for all future absences. Attendance Stage 2: If, after two weeks, there is no improvement the student will be placed on an Attendance Report which will be monitored by the Tutor. Attendance Stage 3: If during this two week period there is not full attendance, the monitoring will be continued by the Senior Parent/Pupil Support Officer. There will be increased contact with home and the student will work with the SPPSO to address any issues which emerge. Attendance Stage 4: If after a further two weeks the student’s attendance has not improved, an Attendance Review will be held. The student, parents/carers and the Assistant Principal will be present at the Review. Individual barriers to learning will be discussed, targets set and support identified. The student will be placed on an Attendance Action Plan. The Attendance Officer will continue to undertake home visits. A student who has an attendance of 90% or below will be regarded as Persistently Absent and will move immediately to this or a higher Attendance Stage. Attendance Stage 5: If the Attendance Action Plan is unsuccessful in bringing about a significant improvement in the student’s attendance at school, a Fixed Penalty Notice may be issued. The Local Authority will become involved and will commence legal proceedings. The Fixed Penalty Notice is a fine of £60 to be paid within 21 days or £120 if paid up to 28 days after issue. If the fine is not paid after 28 days, Government guidelines stipulate that prosecution and a court appearance may follow. Attendance Stage 6: If a student’s attendance remains a cause for concern or if it has been at 90% or below for a significant period of time, the student and parents/carers will be asked to appear before the Governors’ Attendance Panel. Where Governors are concerned by a student’s level of absence, a Parenting Contract will be drawn up. The Parenting Contract will be signed by the student, parents/carers, the Co-Principal and a Safer Sefton Police Officer. It will clearly identify what is expected of the parents/carers in relation to the child’s absence and will clarify the support which will be provided by the school. It will operate for a fixed period of time. Attendance Stage 7: Where all efforts to ensure a young person’s right to an education have failed and where a parent/ carer’s legal responsibilities are clearly not being met, it will be considered that the student may be at some degree of risk. In order to fulfil the school’s duty of care, a multi-professional Student Causing Concern Meeting will be held to review issues relating to safeguarding and to determine what steps need to be undertaken to ensure the well-being of the young person concerned. With regard to unauthorised absence, the school can request a Fixed Penalty Notice at any time in accordance with the Code of Conduct produced by Sefton Council. At any point in this process, a student may be moved to a higher or lower Attendance Stage should it seem appropriate or necessary to do so and particularly where concerns escalate rapidly. 16
