Regular attendance is vital for your child’s success, helping them to achieve their best and develop important life skills.
It is so important to come to school, every day, on time. To help every child achieve this our inclusion team work hard to support pupils and families using a range of strategies.
The target is for everyone to be in the green group. Reminders will be sent and support offered if your child's attendance falls outside of this group.
If you feel you and your child would benefit from any extra help with attendance then please press '1' on our menu to speak to Maria Wilkinson our Attendance and Admissions officer. Alternatively you can dial '2' to speak to Paula Sissons our Child and Family support worker who will also be happy to help.
