Attendance
In September 2022, the Department of Education provided school with new guidance to help schools work with families to improve attendance at school.
We understand that there are barriers to children attending school and we want to work with our families to identify and remove any barriers, as well as having a good understanding of any medical needs that affect regular attendance.
As part of this work we will be communicating with our families more regularly about attendance, this will help us work together to improve attendance and secure the best possible outcomes for your child.
