We have set a target of 96% attendance.
We are confident that all the children can hit this target and we look forward to working with all families to achieve this.

Don’t forget that good attendance results in children being able to:
- Achieve more academically and keep up with work more easily.
- Feel happier and gain in confidence.
- Develop well socially and find it easier to make and keep friends.
- Establish good educational habits and routines at an early age.
- Make a positive contribution to school life in general.
Procedures for notifying an absence:
- On the first day of absence contact the school office on 0121 464 4266 to explain why your child is off ill. We may ask for evidence from your doctor for this.
- On each subsequent day that your child is off continue to contact the school office to keep us informed.
- If you know that your child is going to be absent, for example because of a hospital appointment, then let the school know in advance by showing a copy of their appointment letter to the school office.
