Whilst we expect all children to attend every day it is inevitable that from time to time certain things will prevent this.
Absence due to your child's birthday is not a valid reason an absence and will be recorded as unauthorised.
All unexplained absences are followed up with a phone call to parents/carers once the registers have been received at the office to ensure the absent child is safe. In the event of this being unsuccessful, a message will be left to contact the school. Any pupil who is absent without explanation for 10 consecutive days (Child at Risk of Missing Education) will be notified to the Local Authority, using the appropriate referral procedures.
