It is very difficult for children to learn if they are not in school. Regular and punctual attendance ensures that your child is able to make the most of his/her school life, whilst infrequent or late attendance leads to children feeling constantly behind with their schoolwork.​

​

In accordance with the Education Act 1996, it is the duty of parents/carers to ensure the regular attendance of their child in school. This means that she/he must be in attendance and on time every day unless she/he is ill or there is any other unavoidable cause.

We are always concerned about the amount of school times pupils miss and would ask parents to consider carefully their child's academic progress before booking family holidays in term time.
