Attendance in Warrington schools is monitored very closely and any pupils with less than 95% may be challenged, as regular school attendance is crucial if pupils are to achieve positive outcomes. The Government outlines that any pupil with an attendance level of under 90% will be classed as a ‘persistent absentee’. This means that any pupil whose attendance drops below 90% will be discussed and scrutinised on a regular basis with our attendance officer.
‘Please note under section 7 of the Education Act 1996 parents are responsible for making sure that their children of compulsory school age receive a suitable full-time education. If a child of compulsory school age fails to attend regularly at a school at which they are registered, or at a place where alternative provision is provided for them, the parents may be guilty of an offence and can be prosecuted by the local authority.’
If you are having difficulty getting your child into school I would welcome the opportunity to support you, so please do come and speak with myself, your child’s class teacher or the school office.
Kind Regards
Mr A Hayes
Headteacher
