Miss School Miss Out
Every Day Counts
A good education is vital for children and young people to thrive, and regular attendance at school will ensure your child has the opportunity to receive the best education possible. Good attendance helps children to make progress in school and fulfil their potential in the future.
One of the most important ways a parent can support the education of their child and that of their child’s social, emotional and academic development is to ensure they attend every day, on time and avoid any unauthorised absences. Please note, any absence for which a reason has not been provided will be unauthorised.
If your child does require a leave of absence, please complete the Leave of Absence Form (LOAF) provided on the link below and return it to school at your earliest opportunity. Any Leave of Absence can only be authorised if it is taken in exceptional circumstances. It is important to note that the DfE Statutory Guidance states that a holiday is not considered an exceptional circumstance.
