Children who are late should come to the main school office and report to Mrs Benbow or Miss Jones where they will need to be signed in by the adult bringing them to school. They must be brought to the school office by an accompanying adult who will be asked to complete the late register. 

If your child is ill, please telephone or email the school as soon as possible and send an absence note when your child returns to school. These absences will be recorded as Authorised. Once the registers have closed office staff will look at the absences and if we do not have a reason we will contact the parent.

Children who need to leave the school during the school day for an appointment must be collected from the main entrance by a responsible adult. Please inform us in writing so that an exit permit can be issued. Whenever a child leaves the school during the school day the adult who collects them will need to sign the child out on the electronic signing out system.

Attendance and Punctuality Awards

We like to recognise good attendance and punctuality performance and do this via Attendance analysis included in our newsletters. The classes battle it out to achieve the best attendance and punctuality records over the recent period along with any other notable remarks. 

Last Year’s Attendance Statistics

During the academic year 2023/2024 attendance was 93.91%. There were no permanent exclusions and 4 fixed day exclusions.

Attendance Records Monitoring

Education Welfare Officer checks our attendance records regularly. If there is cause for concern, he/she may make a home visit or invite you into school to discuss the matter. Rochdale Education Authority will enforce vigorously the laws which require parents to ensure that their children attend school regularly.
