Attendance

All parents and carers should aim for their child to attend school 100% of the time. Our expectation is that children have attendance above 95%. Parents and carers have a responsibility for ensuring their child attends school regularly and punctually. We expect that all parents and carers will communicate any absence at the earliest opportunity.

Please see further guidance below along with more details on Working together to improve school attendance.
