At Belmont Primary School we are committed to ensuring that our pupils have every opportunity to develop character, achieve success and realise their full potential. In order for them to secure achievement at Belmont, it is vital that they attend every day, are on time and work hard.

Some illnesses will require children to be absent from school for a short period of time. We understand that this can be unavoidable. For guidance on illnesses and absenteeism, please visit the 'Is My Child Well Enough For School?' page above. There may be other exceptional circumstances why your child cannot attend school which may include religious observances, medical appointments or other special circumstances.  If this is the case, please contact the school prior to the absence so we can best advise on these.

Attendance is closely monitored by the school's attendance team. If a child’s attendance is a cause for concern we contact families to offer support to improving this. Further information can be found on the page links at the top of this page.

If you would like to discuss your child's attendance please contact the school office to make an appointment where one of the attendance team will happily arrange to meet you.

Thank you for your continued support.
