Our target attendance is 98% for all students.
​
The government will expect all students to have over 90% attendance. School will be in regular contact and arrange meetings if your child's attendance falls below the expectation, these can be arranged as face to face or by Microsoft Teams (video call).
It is important that you stay in contact with School and update us daily on your childs condition.

In February 2024, the Department for Education published Working together to improve School Attendance. Within this document, in Chapter 6, it lays out the changes to issuing penalty notices- Please see letter below.​
