SCHOOL INFORMATION

5.ATTENDANCE

Attendance

Your child should attend school each day unless he/she is absent through illness, or special permission has been given by the Head Teacher.

All absences must be explained by the parent/guardian by phoning the school on the day of absence or by letter.

Should your child’s attendance fall below the school target you will be notified.

Present Holiday Arrangements

Parents must fill out a Holiday Request Form if you decide to go on holiday in term time. If your holiday lasts more than 2 weeks you may find that your child is taken off the school roll and you will have to re-apply for a place at ST. Stephen’s. If your child is in Years 2 or 6, Governors have a policy to strongly recommend that holidays are not taken during term time.

Punctuality

The school day begins at 8:55 am. It is important that your child arrives at school on time to avoid any disruption to lessons.
