Children are not in school on PD Days
At West Row Academy we want all pupils to aim for 100% attendance. We set expectations of excellent attendance for all and expect pupils to be in school every day that school is open unless they are too unwell to attend. This is really important so we can give your children the best education we can, and the education that they are entitled to.
If your child is unable to attend school, call the school office number: 01638 715680 to report your child’s absence before 9am on the day of the absence and each subsequent day of absence. We ask that you give full details of the absence and avoid using generic phrases such as “poorly” or “sick” – tell us what symptoms your child has and when you expect them to be back at school. You must repeat this for every day of absence, unless by prior agreement with the school.
This helps us to safeguard your child as we will otherwise not know if they have left home and not arrived at school. We may call you back if we need more information or are able to offer further support. If you have not made contact with us, we will call you to check that the child/ren (and you) is /are
safe.
Some pupils find it harder than others to attend school and we will work together with parents, carers, guardians, pupils and any relevant partners to remove any barriers getting in the way of pupils attending regularly. Pupils with medical conditions or other circumstances that may at times prevent regular attendance will be fully supported by our school, in partnership, where necessary, with any health or external professionals. Promoting and supporting excellent attendance is everybody’s concern within our school and community.
The provision of a calm, orderly, safe, and supportive school where all pupils feel that they belong, and want to be, is of paramount importance to us. We will work together with you to explore and support any child who is finding it difficult to attend school regularly.
