You will find our DGAT attendance policy below. It gives you all the information you need with regards to your child’s attendance in school. Attendance is incredibly important as ensuring your child is in school as regularly as possible means they don’t miss out on our full curriculum and learning opportunities. We try to make every day and week as engaging as possible so that your children want to be in school with us and their friends.
We are always very happy and willing to work with you to support your family or child if there are barriers to attendance. Please do come and talk to either your child’s class teacher or Miss Prosser in her role as SENCo and attendance lead at any point to let us know if this is something you are concerned about. There are many things we can offer to support you and will be happy to work with you to ensure any barriers for your child are removed.
There is also an attendance flowchart below which gives you all the information you need to know about who to contact if your child can’t attend school and the timings of the registers throughout the day. If you have a pre-arranged absence coming, please call in to the school office or email to get a copy of our ‘leave of absence request form’. You can also download this below. This should be completed as soon as you know about the upcoming absence and ideally no less than two weeks before. We will respond to this request via email.
