Attendance Problems

We aim to support parents and carers to help remove any barriers which prevent a child attending school. These could be barriers which the child has or which the parent has. 

Our starting point is always one of support; in return, we expect parents to contact school at an early stage and work with us in resolving any problems together. We try to resolve attendance issues within school.

Should my child go to school today?

It can be challenging as a parent to make the right decision about whether to send your child to school if they are feeling a little under the weather. Below is a poster aimed to help you make your decision.

Is attendance important?

The answer is quite simply - Yes!

Firstly, it is a legal requirement for children of school age to regularly attend school.

Good attendance is also directly realated to a child's enjoyment and achievement at school and is vital to prompote successful lifelong learning. Poor attendance in early years can have a significant impact on education and results at GCSE level.

Primary education provides the building blocks and foundations for futher education and for your child to achieve their best in GCSEs and further education, they need to achieve well in primary.
