At Abberley we want all pupils to aim for 100% attendance. We set expectations of excellent attendance for all pupils and expect pupils to be in school every day when school is open unless they are too unwell to attend. This is really important so we can give your child the best education we can, and the education that they are entitled to.

Some pupils find it harder than others to attend school. We will work together with parents/ carers, pupils and any relevant partners to remove any barriers getting in the way of your child attending school regularly. 

Pupils with medical conditions or other circumstances that may at times prevent regular attendance will be fully supported by our school, in partnership, where necessary, with any health or external professionals.

We will work together to explore and support any child who is finding it difficult to attend school regularly.

We understand that this may not be possible if your child is ill. If your child is too ill to attend school, we expect a parent or legal guardian to contact the school before 9.30am and give a reason for the absence on each day of the absence.

We have a duty of care to safeguard your child and will contact you if we have not been provided with an adequate reason for your child’s absence by 9:30am.

The law does not grant parents the automatic right to take a child out of school during term time for any reason, including a holiday. If you do require a Leave of Absence Request Form then Email or call into the school office. The request should be submitted as soon as it is anticipated; and wherever possible, at least four weeks before the absence.
