Attendance
Parents have a legal responsibility for making sure that their children of compulsory school age receive a suitable full-time education, our aim is to promote this and support. This links to statutory guidance, ‘Parental responsibility measures’ and the new DFE 2022 ‘Working together to improve school attendance’. This guidance is extremely clear, consequently, we have place ‘tiers of support’. Our Wellbeing Lead, Mrs Bates and Safeguarding and Learning mentor, Miss Short, are key contacts; however, all members of staff are here to support.
Please see our school Attendance Policy for more information.
