📚✨ Introducing Our Attendance Streak Initiative! ✨📚

At our school, we know that every day counts. Regular attendance helps children build confidence, develop friendships, and achieve their full potential.

Our new Attendance Streak Initiative celebrates pupils for attending school consistently and improving their own personal best attendance records. 🎉

🏆 Certificates awarded at 100 and 200 days ⭐ Certificates and badges awarded from 300 days onwards 💙 Every child can take part, and if absence due to illness breaks a streak, a new one can begin when they return.

Together, let's encourage excellent attendance and celebrate every milestone achieved along the way! 🌟

🚨 Important Attendance Reminder for Parents & Carers 🚨

Please be aware that term-time holidays are not authorised and taking a child out of school during term time may result in a Penalty Notice being issued.

Under the National Framework for Penalty Notices:

📌 First offence: £160 per parent, per child (reduced to £80 if paid within 21 days)
📌 Second offence (within 3 years): £160 per parent, per child
📌 Third and subsequent offences (within 3 years): Cases may be referred directly to the Magistrates’ Court, where fines can be significantly higher.

Penalty Notices may also be considered where a child has 10 sessions (5 days) of unauthorised absence within a 10-week period.

Regular attendance is essential for children's learning, progress and wellbeing. If you are experiencing difficulties that may affect your child's attendance, please contact the school as early as possible so we can offer support.
