GOOD
ATTENDANCE
MATTERS.
As
you know at
Conifers
Primary School
we are continuing to work hard to improve our attendance. We still fall below
the national level being 95 %. Our attendance currently stands at 91%. This is
not acceptable. Together we need to improve this as quickly as possible to
ensure your child’s learning is not affected.
WHAT IS YOUR DUTY?
YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR:-
- ensuring
your children receive education
- their
regular attendance at school
This means that your child must
:-
- arrive at
school on time
- attend
regularly
- be
suitably clothed
- be in a
condition to learn
Any absence can disrupt your child's education. What
can you do?
If your child is absent from school
- as
early as you can on the first day of absence
- phone
the school or
- send
a note or
- call
at the school
- on
your child's return to school always send a signed note which should
- be
dated
- give
the reason for absence
- your
child MUST NOT be kept away from school
- to look after brothers and sisters
- to mind the house
- to visit relatives
- for long weekends
- for shopping trips
- for birthday treats
- for domestic chores
HOW
CAN WE HELP?
School
will inform you if:
·
your child is not
attending
·
your child is frequently
late
·
homework is not being
completed
Your children are very important to us all and
deserve the best possible education. BUT sometimes things go wrong.
We can offer help by providing advice on attendance problems. Please
feel free to come in and speak to us.
