Attendance

Attendance Policy

The new school attendance policy based on the updated Government Guidance, Working Together to Improve School Attendance will be published here once the Trafford Guidance has been finalised. 

Absences from school

Visits to the Doctor, Dentist, Hospital

Routine visits should not take place during the school day.  If your child has to attend a medical appointment during school hours, please send a copy of the appointment card/letter to the School Office/ Class Teacher in advance.  If your child is to leave school early for any reason please indicate whether or not they are being collected.  We cannot permit a child to leave school unescorted without your permission.

Absence from School

If your child is absent through illness, we are required to have an explanation.  Parents/Carers should telephone or email the School Office, please do not use Class Dojo for asbences.  Without this contact, absences will be classed as unauthorised. 

Holidays

Please be aware that parents do not have the legal right to authorised absence for holidays during term time.  Requests for holidays during term time will not be authorised unless there are exceptional circumstances. Parents/Carers who wish to request absence for any reason must complete the form which is available from the school office.
