SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Class

Week ending:

16 .3.18

 

Please note any children arriving in school after 9.15 a.m. will be marked in the

register as an ‘unauthorised absence’.

This may then trigger a meeting with the school’s Educational Social Worker (ESW)

to discuss punctuality.

 

Well done to 1D for good attendance last week and to Y4 for great attendance too. Low

average for the school because lots of children have succumbed to chicken pox and have been off for at least 5 days.
