Welcome from the Principal
Absence & Attendance
Important attendance information for you and your child from September 2024.
The new sharing of daily school registers between the Department of Education, school and Kirklees, will create a new attendance data set which will help schools more easily spot and support children displaying worrying trends of persistent absence (below 90%).
Parent fines for unauthorised absences will also be brought under a national framework. These fines will be issued if a child misses 5 days of school due to unauthorised absence. The costs for fines will be £80 if paid within 21 days and from £160 if paid within 28 days.

Absence request form Sept 2024
We work positively and supportively with our children and families to encourage the best possible attendance and avoid lateness.
We celebrate good attendance with and class and individual certificates and rewards, and we are working very hard to achieve our whole school attendance target of 96%. We celebrate in our weekly assemblies which classes have the best attendance and the most punctual. We also reward which class is trying hard and improving their attendance.
