Attendance
Did you know that across the year there are just 190 school days? That means there are already 175 days set aside for weekends, holidays, family visits and rewarding days out. We believe every school day counts to give your child the greatest opportunity of attaining a good education and to support a happy and healthy future. We will always seek to work with parents to support their child's attendance at school and look to remove barriers to regular attendance.
Parents can view their child's attendance at any point on Arbor.
Guidance and resources for attendance can be found at:

Attendance & Leave of Absence Request Form
Should you require a withdrawal from learning application form, please contact the school office to make an appointment with Mrs Page. We can then discuss the reasons for absence and potential impact.
Illness
The NHS and the Chief Medical Officer say it is usually appropriate for parents and carers to send their children to school with mild respiratory illnesses, including general cold symptoms like a minor cough, runny nose or sore throat. Where your child is feeling 'under the weather', but could try school, you are welcome to complete our under the weather forrm which will be passed on to class teachers. Please refer to the following link for further information.
Is my child too ill for school? - NHS
