Attendance
Both attendance and punctuality are the legal responsibility of the parent.
If a child is not in school please let us know by phone by 8.30am and the reason why. If we do not receive a phone call we will attempt to contact you ourselves. We do this for safety to make sure you are aware that your child is not in school. We ask for a written letter on return to school.
We have introduced a new, more efficient and secure system for reporting your child’s absence due to illness, called Studybugs. This is how we would like you to report your child’s absence.
Please get the free Studybugs app, or register on the Studybugs website, and use it to tell us whenever your child’s ill and unable to attend school.

We set targets for attendance and we are also required to report your child’s absence record to you. We do not authorise any holidays during term time. If pupils are taken on holiday during term time you may be liable for a penalty notice.

For safety reasons, the Craven Avenue gate will not be open until 8.30am when the playground has a member of staff on duty. Please help your child to arrive on time so that they have the best start to the school day. Those arriving late need to report to the main office.
