Attendance (Illness & Absence)
Attendance (Illness and Absence)
Welcome to the Attendance (Illness and Absence) section of our website.
Regular attendance and good punctuality are important in helping children to make the most of their time at school. Being in school consistently supports learning, friendships, confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
We also recognise that children will sometimes be unwell or that there may be other genuine reasons why attendance is affected. This section provides clear information for parents and carers about:
-
Attendance and why regular attendance matters
-
Illness and when your child should stay at home
-
Lateness and punctuality
-
Requests for leave during term time
-
How we work with families when attendance becomes a concern
If you are ever unsure about whether your child should attend school, or you are experiencing difficulties that are affecting attendance, please contact us. We are always happy to discuss your circumstances and work with you to support your child.
