Attendance Reporting

All medical appointments should be made outside of school hours where possible.

If your child has a medical appointment you will need to notify the Attendance team in the office not the Class Teacher. Proof of any appointments will be requested by the Attendance Team.

Please make sure to contact school for each day that your child is absent. You can do this by calling the School or through MCAS.

Attendance Matters

It is important for all our pupils to come to school every day and on time! Regular attendance and punctuality helps us learn well in school, make friends and have fun. When we miss school, it is easy to fall behind and miss out on exciting lessons and activities. Poor attendance can also affect our friendships, making it harder to join in class discussions and group projects.
