The fullest attendance possible is essential as quality first teaching can only take place if the child is in school. Where a child needs to be absent due to illness, parents/carers should ring the academy on 01623 980055 ext: 5135.
Where absence for a medical appointment is known about in advance it would be helpful if the parent would notify the school in advance by telephone, email or note in the student’s Journal.
This guide provides information on what is ‘good attendance’.
Please take the time to review our ‘Attendance Matters’ Guide which provides information for parents/carers on punctuality and attendance.

An authorised absence is any absence agreed between parents/carers and the school. An unauthorised absence is anything that is not agreed by the school, Government regulations state that only the Academy can authorise absences, parents/carers cannot do this.
