Punctuality
Parents are asked to ensure that children arrive in good time to start their lessons in the morning. If children are persistently late for school, their parents will be asked to discuss how the situation can best be resolved, in the best interests of the child’s education. Classroom doors open at 8.45am. Children should be sat at their desk for registration at 8.50am ready to learn.
How to inform us if your child is absent.
Reporting of Absences - Parents are asked to inform school by speaking to the school office or leaving a message on the school absence line, detailing the full reasons of your child's absence. If your child is ill, please advise us the full details of the illness and how long your child is going to be absent. If parents have not informed the school about their child’s absence by 9.20am, they will be verbally contacted by a member of staff from the school office.
Absences due to Appointments - Children with medical appointments during term time must write in or bring into school an appointment card in advance of the appointment.
Family Holidays in Term Time - Please be aware holidays in term time are not permitted. The Headteacher adheres to the DFE and Warrington Borough Councils guidelines and is unable to authorise any holidays in term time.
Note: Family holidays during term time are NOT ALLOWED.
Illness Advice - Please click on the link below to access guidelines for further information regarding your child's absence due to illness or infection. It gives the recommended period for your child to be kept away from school and nursery.

Providing Information to Parents on their Child's Attendance
We will work with you every step of the way to ensure your child has the best possible attendance and do all we can to help you get your child to school on time every day.
At the end of every half term we write to every family to inform you of your child's attendance both that half term and year to date. We do this via colour coded letters as per our attendance chart to make this easily visual for you to see. Our door is always open to discuss ways in which we can assist you. Examples of these half termly letters can be found below. We share and celebrate with children good attendance.
