At Cotmanhay Infant and Nursery School we believe in the importance of regular attendance from the point that children join us in Nursery.
Good attendance = better learning opportunities + better preparation for their next stage in education + better social and emotional foundations
ATTENDANCE OF EVERY CHILD MUST BE 96% AND OVER
- We monitor every child's attendance
- We follow up all absence
- We have a clear attendance policy
- We have clear procedures for poor attendance
- We reward good attendance in many ways
SIMPLE REMINDERS:
- Let us know if your child is poorly and off school
- Don't keep them off for a cough or cold
- Holidays in term time are not authorised and you will be fined (school do not get the money)
- Children must be in between 8.45 and 9am
- Lates are not OK
- We monitor attendance
- Persistently poor attendance will result in a fine (school do not get the money)
- We will support families with attendance
- ATTENDANCE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS/CARERS
