We expect children to attend school every day when they are fit and healthy enough to do so.

• have a fever

• have been vomiting or had diarrhoea (children should stay off for 48 hours after the last episode)

• are too unwell to take part in normal school activities

• have a confirmed infectious illness and have been advised to stay off

This helps protect other children and staff and supports a safe return to school.

• have a mild cold, cough or runny nose

• are feeling slightly tired but otherwise well

• are recovering from an illness and are able to manage the school day

Returning to school can help children settle back into normal routines and feel part of the day again.

Our approach is supportive and focused on working with families to help children attend regularly and feel settled, confident and ready to learn.

• listening to concerns and offering guidance

• agreeing small, manageable steps to improve attendance

• support with routines or transitions

• involvement from pastoral or attendance staff

• signposting to additional services where appropriate

• Is my child well enough to take part in the school day?

• Do they have a fever, vomiting or diarrhoea that means they need to stay at home?

• If unsure, have I checked NHS guidance or spoken to school?

These questions can help you make a confident decision.

• get in touch to understand what may be affecting attendance

• listen to any concerns

• offer advice and support

• work with families to agree next steps

The aim is always to support children back into regular attendance.

• prepare bags, uniform and lunches the night before

• set alarms to allow for a calm start

• aim to arrive a few minutes early rather than right on time

Small routine changes can make mornings feel less rushed and more positive.

If you feel extra support would be helpful, please contact us so we can work with you to explore what might be right for your family.

EYFS and KS1 doors open at 8:40am

Registers are taken at 8:45am.

Arriving on time helps children feel settled and ready to learn from the start of the day.

Families can help by:

• encouraging regular attendance where possible

• letting school know about any concerns or changes

• working with school to agree next steps if attendance becomes a worry

School will:

• listen to concerns and offer support

• keep families informed about attendance

• work with families to agree support

• review attendance regularly

Attendance can change over time, and support can be adjusted as needed.

• listening to concerns and offering guidance

• providing pastoral or wellbeing support

• helping families access additional services where appropriate

• working together to agree practical next steps

Local services can offer advice and practical guidance to support families through periods of difficulty. School can help families explore whether this may be appropriate and how to access it.

Support may include:

• attendance and wellbeing services

• Early Help

• local family or parenting support

  
  

These services work alongside families and school to help children feel settled, confident and ready to attend.
