ATTENDANCE
Unauthorised absence: 2006/07 - 0.59%
Authorised absences: 2006/07 - 5.04%
Number
of children on roll from September 2007 – 121 (including Reception) plus
48 part time places in Nursery.
All schools are
required by law to keep a record of authorised and unauthorised absences.
In order to keep our records up to date, parents are asked to inform the
school the reason for any absences by telephone, send a note or call to explain
personally. Parents and Carers will be given a
leaflet ‘Holiday Absence in Term Time’ on request.
Wherever
possible, parents should avoid taking their children out of school during term
time for holidays. Such absences can be
very disruptive to pupils’ learning and development.
It is only possible for the Head Teacher to authorise up to ten days annual holiday over the statutory
dates. This is not an entitlement and
every request for holiday absence will be considered individually. Only in exceptional circumstances will authorisation be given for more than 10 days in term time
in any one school year.
Where the Head
Teacher decides that authorisation cannot be given
but absence occurs, consideration will be given to the issuing of a Penalty
Notice in line with Kirklees Code of Conduct.
Parents and carers are asked to request permission in writing prior to
the holiday. The Educational Social Worker monitors the attendance of all
children in school on a monthly basis and will contact parents or carers if their child’s attendance gives cause for
concern.
