ATTENDANCE
This is rolling at 90.4% – help us to make it to 95% and above:
NON- ATTENDANCE HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON YOUR CHILDS GRADES AND LEARNING PROGRESS
Try and make all medical appointments in the holidays or after 2pm on a Friday. If this is not possible, make your
appointment for early in the morning so your child can be brought into school afterwards or alternatively later on in the
afternoons and your child could finish school slightly earlier.
If your child is genuinely ill, call Mrs Lewis on 07809330745 or reception on 01453 542130 by 8am. If we have not heard
from you by 10am at the latest, agencies will be informed as we will have safeguarding concerns – [ Also, remember to
contact the taxi to let them know they do not have to collect your child if they are ill and not in school].
