At Cuckney C of E Primary School we value children’s attendance, as children with low attendance make less progress at school.
Good attendance is 97% or better - 5 and a half days off or less over the whole year - less than two days each term!
Satisfactory attendance is 95% to 96.9% Up to 9 and a half days off over the whole year – up to 3 days off each term.
Attendance causing concern is 90% to 94.9% Up to 19 days off each year – up to 6 days off each term.
Unacceptably low attendance is below 90% More than 19 days off in a year – more than 6 days off each term.
What to do if your child is off school
Call school before 9:30am if your child is off school. Please tell us why so we can properly record the reason. If we don’t know, the absence will be unauthorised and can lead to a penalty notice.
If your child is persistently absent
Late Procedures:
School starts promptly at 8:45 when the bell rings in the playground, any children arriving after is time will be marked as Late (before the registers have closed).
Any child arriving after the registers have closed will be marked as an unauthorised late.
If your child is persistently late they will recieve a letter stating 'Should the lateness persist, a referral will be made to the local authority for a fixed penalty notice in the same way as significant absence, such as persistent absence of holidays in term time.'
