Attendance

Our School Attendance Target is a minimum of 96%

Children in our school are expected to attend regularly and on time, unless there are exceptional circumstances to consider. However, school acknowledges that pupils may well be absent from school occasionally due to illness, unforeseen circumstances or with prior permission from the Headteacher.

You can use the school spider app to report an absence or you can contact the school office. If you do not report your child's absence, then you will receive a call from the school office, and your child's absence will be unauthorised.

Child Protection and Safeguarding

Schools must have rigorous policies and procedures in place to safeguard children. Our school has several members of staff who have undertaken specialist training. Each School has a Designated Safeguarding Lead.


The law places a duty on the Headteacher and their staff to report any obvious signs or suspected cases of child abuse – which include non-accidental injury, neglect, emotional abuse and/or sexual abuse. The procedures are intended to protect children and all schools are expected to take the attitude that where there are grounds for concern it is better to be safe than sorry. This means that the school risks upsetting some parents by reporting a case that proves unfounded on investigation. In such circumstances, it is hoped that families would accept that the school acted in what were believed to be the child’s best interests.


In line with government requirements, the school maintains a central list of checks on appointed staff and adults who work in or visit the school.
