Your child’s attendance at school is extremely important. Those children who are consistently late or have attendance below 96% are categorised as a ‘Cause for Concern’.
Please support your children by sending them to school every day and on time.
Wherever possible, please ensure your child attends medical appointments outside of the school day. Holidays during term time will not be authorised
