Supporting regular attendance
Regular attendance helps children take part in learning, build friendships and feel connected to school life. We encourage families to work with the school to support their child’s attendance.
Our attendance strategy
Our school’s attendance strategy sets out how we encourage regular attendance and support pupils and families.
