Attendance

Good attendance and punctuality promotes your child’s learning. 

We encourage and support all of our pupils alongside their families to achieve high levels of attendance and punctuality. We want our pupils to take full advantage of the excellent educational opportunities that are available to them and so enable them to maximise their full potential at school.

Regular attendance and good punctuality can:

• develop confidence
• ensure that children make the progress they are capable of
• enable children to feel more involved in their friendships and the school community
• develop life skills that are important for the next stage in their education

Reporting your child's absence

If your child is absent from school due to illness or a medical appointment, please call the School Office before 9.00 am. After this time, the child will be marked as an unauthorised absence and the school will attempt to contact you.

Office phone number: 020 8804 1706

Attendance Matters.

Regular school attendance is an important part of giving your child the best possible start in life!

100% attendance = no missed sessions (ideally this is where we would like you to be!)
95% attendance = 19 sessions (over the school year this is nearly 2 weeks of missed learning)
90% attendance = 28 sessions (over the school year this is nearly 3 weeks of missed learning)
80% attendance = 76 sessions (over the school year this is nearly 8 weeks of missed learning)
And even…5 minutes late everyday = nearly 3 whole days of missed learning (and it’s disruptive for the rest of the class who are settled and ready to learn)

Please remember that parents have a legal obligation to ensure that their children are in school and on time every day.
