Important information:
Children are expected to attend school regularly, unless there is good reason for absence.
There are two types of absence:
•Authorised (where the school approves a pupil absence)
•Unauthorised (where school will not approve the absence)
At Cambridge Road Community Primary and Nursery Schoolwe will apply a robust day to day process to track and follow up on absence and poor punctuality. We will ensure registers are completed accurately and on time, twice per day, in accordance with the timings set out below. This will indicate which pupils are absent from or are late for school.
·Our gates open at 8.20am and classroom doors open at 8.40am
·We expect all pupils to be in their classroom by 8.40am ready for registration. If your child is in class at this time, they will be marked as present.
·Registers close at 8.45am. If your child arrives at school after 8.45ambut before 9.15am,they will need to enter the school by the main entrance. They will be marked as late and will receive the L code.
·If your child arrives at school after the registers have closed 9.15am, they will be marked as late and will receive the U code. This is an unauthorised absence for that session.
·Afternoon registers will be taken at 12.45pm.
The school has a duty to safeguard all its pupils. If a child is absent, the parents/carers should inform the school office on the first day of absence and each following day of absence, stating the reason. The name and contact details of the senior leader responsible for the strategic approach to attendance in school is Mrs D Wellings (Headteacher) on 0151 355 1735.
The school office will make contact with home when a child is absent, and the parent/carer has not notified the school of the absence. If no contact can be achieved or the reason for absence is not accepted the absence will be unauthorised.
