Attendance and Truancy Policy
At St. Mary’s we believe that children can only learn effectively if they attend school regularly. It is important too, that children arrive and leave school on time. It is equally important that children should not be at school if they are unwell.
St. Mary’s is a happy school. Children learn best when they are happy and relaxed. All staff show concern and care about each child’s welfare.
As attendance is crucial to effective learning and the continuity of learning experiences school places great emphasis on this in its communication with parents.
