Absence

The school works hard to ensure that students find learning enjoyable and stimulating. 

We understand that if students are to learn effectively, then the school must be a place in which they look forward to coming. High attendance has a proven link to educational outcomes – every lesson really does count and maintaining 100% attendance will ensure students achieve their potential.

Students are expected to arrive on time, every day. Students should only be absent in ‘exceptional’ and unavoidable circumstances. Please ensure that any absences are reported to the school on 01947 602856 before 8.15am. If you expect your child to have an absence of more than 48 hours please contact your child’s Year Head to discuss arranging some work.

Further information on the school’s attendance and punctuality policy can be found below and on the NYCC website.

Holidays during term-time

Holidays during term-time will not be authorised, and will be recorded as unauthorised absence. Further information is available within the attendance and punctuality policy below.
