Attendance

Well done to Ash Class (97.1%), Sycamore Class (96.3%) and Chestnut Class (96%) who had the best attendance last week. Help your class to be one of the top 3 classes by coming to school every day (week ending 27/3). Just a reminder that it is your responsibility to advise school if your child is absent, or the absence will be unauthorised. You can now do this on the School Spider app.

Leave Of Absence

Please could we draw your attention to the updated information on the holiday request forms from Lancashire County Council.

Parents/carers must obtain permission from the headteacher before taking a child out of school for leave during term time for any reason. Absences taken without permission will be unauthorised by the school. The DfE does not consider a need or desire for a holiday or other absence for the purpose of leisure and recreation to be an exceptional circumstance. Where absences are not authorised and meet the qualifying trigger (10 sessions, or 5 days in a rolling 10 school-week period), schools must consider applying to the Local Authority for a penalty notice. Upon receipt of such an application, the LA may decide to either issue a penalty notice or institute other legal action (eg prosecution).
