As a school we encourage excellent attendance and this is set out clearly within our school attendance policy. Attendance is recorded and monitored closely and parents will be informed if attendance falls to an 'unacceptable' level as per department guidelines. Please read the attendance matters leaflet for further information on the impact absence from school has on you child.
