Attendance
We expect every child to attend school every day, and be punctual every day.
The attendance of children at school is a legal requirement and is taken seriously by the school.
Our Attendance Policy can be found below.
Any planned absence from school must be requested in advance and we expect such requests to be for exceptional circumstances only. We define ‘exceptional circumstances’ as extreme, unplanned family emergencies, where all efforts to support school attendance have been considered in the first instance.
Absence request forms are available from the school office, or below, and must be completed in full and returned for the attention of the Headteacher. Please note that holidays are not authorised during term time under any circumstance.

We expect routine medical appointments, including dental, to be taken outside of the school day.
