Attendance Help and Advice

What should I do if I have concerns about my child's attendance?

Where a parent or carer has concerns about their child’s attendance, we really want to hear from you so that we can work together to reduce absence from school. You should still do everything you can to help your child attend as much as possible whilst waiting for help and support to be put into place.

We know that for some children, attending school and the routine of learning is more difficult - please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. Your first point of contact should be your child’s Tutor, Head of Year or Pastoral Lead who will work with you and your child to overcome the issues. We will agree a set of joint actions to support your child and will arrange times to review these actions and your child’s progress. Depending on the reasons for your child’s absence, this may take the form of an action plan, medical support plan, individual health care plan, an early help plan, or a parenting contract.
