    ATTENDANCE MATTERS 2022 - it's your child's future!

    11 January 2022 (by admin)

    We will continue to remind you about the importance of SCHOOL ATENDANCE MATTERS as part of our partnership drive with the Birmingham Authority Spotlight on Attendance programme. It's KEEPING YOU FULLY INFORMED and in the picture.

    You may well have recently received a letter outlining your child's attendance statistics - don't be alarmed because there are many genuine reasons why ATTENDANCE is affected (recent covid related absence for instance). It's good to be in the know.

    Some children have completely understandable reasons for absence as well (often medical related). However, it's still good to know your child's attendance etc. because you may want to inform your child's doctor, consultant, support agency etc. and get further support - it can be used as evidence for the benefit of your child.

    It is important to stress however that attendance concerns without the appropriate authorisation, medical evidence, no phone calls from parents, patterns of absence etc. will be acted on and our Birmingham Authority spotlight on attendance procedures followed because ATTENDANCE MATTERS.

    Please keep us informed - it's about working in partnership.

    Thank you for your cooperation parents.
