Attendance at school is crucial; every effort should be made to ensure that your child attends school regularly. Our school attendance target is 95%. Schools are required by law to keep comprehensive records of attendance and work closely with the Local Authority’s Attendance Team. It is essential, therefore, that you notify us by telephone at the start of an absence. If your child is absent due to sickness or diarrhoea we operate a policy of ’48 hours clear’ before the child returns to school. If your child is absent for a period of more than 5 days, medical evidence is normally required.
Lateness: Missing even short amounts of time at the start of the school day can have a detrimental impact on a child’s education. Lateness is regularly monitored at Cams Lane is if there are concerns, you will be contacted via letter or telephone to see if there is any support the school can offer in improving punctuality.
