Attendance

Raising the attendance of pupils in all schools is a national issue.   The more time children spend in school, the more effective teaching and learning is. Our school target is 97%.  Attendance below 90% is classed as ‘persistent absenteeism’ and monitored by the local authority.

Any requests for leave during term time will be considered on an individual basis and the pupil’s previous attendance record will be considered. Where the absence is granted, the headteacher will determine the length of time that the pupil can be away from school. 

The school is not likely to grant leaves of absence for the purposes of family holidays as the DfE have said “there is no reason to take holidays in term time.”
