Dear Parents and Guardians,

Attendance reminder You will be well aware that school are working hard to improve attendance rates and reduce the numbers of pupils who are persistently absent. Currently we have too many children who are persistently absent (under 90% attendance). Please note that if your child is persistently absent or was persistently absent last year, any illness absence will require medical evidence or will be marked as unauthorised. Five or more unauthorised absences in one term will result in a referral to the Education Welfare Service and may result in a fixed penalty notice. School are on hand to offer support and advice to help maintain expected attendance so do contact the school office if you wish to discuss this further with me.

Kind regards Ms Louise Quinell
