Attendance

It is our mission to provide the best quality early education for the whole child so that they develop a love of learning and can flourish in all aspects of their lives within a safe, healthy atmosphere of mutual support and trust. It is our mission to be a caring, family school at the heart of the community. We always have high expectations of ourselves and the children and we are deeply committed to raising achievement. Creativity, fun and the broadening of horizons are central to our work. Every child is known personally and is special to us.

Children should be at school, on time, every day the school is open, unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. Good attendance is vital if a child is to make progress and to feel safe and happy at school. We understand that young children will be ill, especially when they first start school and also have medical appointment which are unavoidable. These are perfectly justifiable reason why a child could be absent. It is important to track and analyse attendance so that families who may need support in ensuring their children attend school regularly can be identified and receive appropriate help or guidance.
