Lateness

Lateness is closely monitored. Therefore, if your child is late for whatever reason, please register your child at reception. A member of staff will take your child to the class. We have a reward system in place for those pupils with very good attendance.

Please ensure that your child arrives in school in time for the morning lesson, i.e. 8:50am on the school yard.

We also monitor any pupils that are picked up before the end of the school day on a regular basis. If there are any problems, please let us know and we will do what we can to help. 

Absence

We understand that your child will sometimes be absent from school. It is compulsory for parents to report that absence.

If your child is unwell, please inform the school on the first morning of absence, with brief details for the absence. You may do this by Seesaw message or by telephone - making use of the recorded message system available.

If no message is received, then the school will operate its same day response, where we will contact you directly to enquire why your child is not in school.

Absence due to a family holiday must be requested in advance by contacting Miss Westwood.

All absences are recorded on the class register. Unreported absences will be recorded as unauthorised and may be followed up by the Attendance and Welfare Officer.

Improving attendance figures across the authority is a main focus for Flintshire County Council and research has shown that attendance is a major contributing factor to pupil attainment.

If the percentage for attendance of a pupil drops below 90%, then a reminder letter will be sent to the parents of the child concerned. We realise that there are a variety of reasons for this happening and we will do everything we can to help.
