Attendance Information Covid-19
Under the Coronavirus Act 2020, we have disapplied certain statutory provisions, so that the parent of a child of compulsory school age is not guilty of an offence on account of the child’s failure to attend regularly at the school at which the child is registered (section 444 of the Education Act 1996). This means that parents will not be penalised if their child does not attend school.
We have also modified the meaning of ‘pupil’ (section 3 of the Education Act 1996) in the context of pupil registration (section 434 of the Education Act 1996). This means that children temporarily attending another school because of coronavirus (COVID-19) should not be registered as pupils. They should return to their own school once it reopens.
Children who attend a school on a temporary basis because of coronavirus (COVID-19) will still be pupils for all purposes other than registration. For example, they will still be pupils for the purposes of the school’s special educational needs (SEN), safeguarding and school medical duties. The school will be able to apply its normal behaviour policy to such children and – as is the case with its registered pupils – it cannot charge these children for their education.
You can also read the guidance for the full opening of schools which provides information on attendance expectations for the coming autumn term.
Compulsory School Age
A child reaches compulsory school age on or after their fifth birthday. If they turn 5 between 1 January and 31 March, then they are of compulsory school age on 31 March; if they turn 5 between 1 April and 31 August, then they are of compulsory school age on 31 August. If they turn 5 between 1 September and 31 December, then they are of compulsory school age on 31 December. A child continues to be of compulsory school age until the last Friday of June in the school year that they reach sixteen. (DfE July 2019)
If your child is absent due to illness, please call the absence line and leave a message, on each morning of the absence. If the school considers the level of attendance to be of concern we will request medical evidence for each absence in order to avoid each missed session being marked as unauthorized. “Headteachers have the discretion to grant leave, but they should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a Headteacher grants a leave request, it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school”. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday parents/carers will need to complete an absence request form which is available from the school office/main foyer or Forms section of our website.
The Headteacher (Mr. Reeson) works with the school's Attendance Officer (Mrs. Taylor) to promote excellent attendance, reduce levels of absence and work with children and families to promote high levels of attendance. It is important to promote and support high levels of attendance, to support students in achieving their full potential and to promote a positive attendance and punctuality culture. Schools should monitor attendance and address it when it is poor or irregular. All schools must inform the local authority of any pupil who fails to attend school regularly.
"Where school staff have concerns about a child, they will use their professional judgement and knowledge of the individual pupil to inform their decision as to whether welfare concerns should be escalated". (DfE guidance September 2018)
We urge all parents to ensure their child arrives in time for their "class bubble start time" and is also collected at their allocated "home bubble time" too.
It is most important that the children are able to begin their day calmly and on time. Registration takes place immediately when pupils have entered the classroom. This is often the time when teachers give them notices and information. We thank all those parents whose children are on time. If your child is late, their lateness may be marked as unauthorized for that session. The Educational Welfare Officer tracks any late arrivals to check for patterns of poor punctuality; those families causing concern will be contacted to arrange a formal meeting. Persistent absence from school is a serious problem.
