Monitoring Attendance
The school attendance officer, Ms Maniyar monitors attendance on a daily basis and identifies if any patterns of absence are emerging. As a school we support early intervention by identifying and addressing barriers to regular school attendance.
For daily attendance, a message will be sent to parents via the school app Parent Hub where no reason has been given. It is normal school procedure to telephone a child's home if absent from school and if we have concerns or require further information about any absences.
Each week we check the attendance records of each class as well as the whole school. A chart is displayed in assembly for the pupils to see how well their class has attended.
The Role of the Access to Education Service
We receive support from the Access to Education Service, Kirklees. They hold termly attendance meetings with the school attendance officer and Head Teacher to monitor whole school attendance.
The school will refer children to the Education Safeguarding Service if there are 10 or more unauthorised absences and/or if a Child's attendance level falls below 90% during a term. Once a child has been referred, they will contact parents and arrange a meeting in order to discuss a sensible way forward to overcome any attendance difficulties.
If you have any concerns about your child's attendance, or would like more information please do not hesitate to contact the school.
