Attendance

All pupils of statutory school age have an equal right to access an education in accordance with the National Curriculum regulations.
No pupil should be deprived of their opportunity to receive an education that meets their needs and personal development.
It is the legal responsibility of parents to ensure attendance at school.
Pupils and their parents/carers may need to be supported at some stage to meet their attendance obligations and responsibilities.
Situations beyond the control of pupils and/or parents/carers may impact on attendance. The School will, with the agreement and support of parents, work in partnership with external agencies to resolve these.
The vast majority of pupils want to attend school to learn, to socialise with their peer group and to prepare themselves fully to take their place in society as well-rounded and responsible citizens with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to contribute to the life and culture of their communities.
