Absence Reporting
Attendance Procedure
- Morning registers will be completed by 9.30 am.
- First day attendance calls to parents/carers and families will be completed immediately after the registers close at 9.30 am. This is so that we ensure students have not got into difficulties or an accident on the way to school.
- If we cannot speak to parents/carers and families, we will send an email and a text message to all contacts on record asking them to contact the school, and explaining that if we do not hear from them, we will do a safe and well visit to the home.
- If we do not see a child for three consecutive days, and cannot make contact with anyone at home, a member of staff will visit the home to ensure that the child is safe and well. This will be logged on CPOMS as a safeguarding matter. The Head of School (or DHoS in their absence) may decide that a safe and well visit is required before this point if there are particular concerns about a young person.
- Any unexplained absences for a young person who has a CIN or CP plan will be reported immediately to the social worker or other relevant professionals.
Reporting Absence or Lateness
- Parents or Carers must provide a valid reason for absence. For example, "Not attending today" will be marked as unauthorised, while "My child has a high temperature" will be recorded as illness.
- Notify the school everyday your child is absent, please note those absences due to sickness or diarrhoea, will requires a 48-hour absence from the last episode.
