Whole School Attendance is currently 95.06%
We feel sure you will agree that having children in school regularly is the best way to support their education.
To support you, the children’s attendance is regularly monitored and should their attendance fall below 95% we are required by law to inform you by letter.
We now have the added support of the Prevention Service for any children whose attendance falls significantly below 95%.
The Prevention Service is a service that helps and supports families in North Yorkshire to ensure that all children are safe, happy and well and that they can flourish in school and the wider world.
Please do not hesitate to see Mrs Logan if you have any concerns or queries
