Attendance/Absence
Children who attend 100% are 5 times more likely to work at, or above, the expected standard.
If a child is unable to attend school, parents/ carers should notify the Academy as soon as is reasonably practicable every day of the child’s absence, by telephoning the academy office on 01782 234379 (voicemail available).

Time out of school for medical/dental appointments
Appointments for dentists, doctors, hospitals etc are better made out of school hours or during holidays. We are aware that this is not always possible and so appointments either at the beginning or end of the school day can avoid too much disruption to children’s learning. For all appointments where a child may miss any time in school, we request that an appointment card or letter is brought to the school office in order that the time out of school can be authorised.
