Absences from School
We would respectfully request all parents to inform
us of the reason for their child's absence from School by either telephone
or letter. Should a child have a hospital, dental, or clinic appointment
then we would hope to be informed by the parents of their arrangements
for their child to be collected from school.
Children should be in school no later than 9.00am.
If children are late it may have to be noted in the register as an "unauthorised
absence." These absences refer to occasions when children arrive after
registration is completed or when children are absent and the school receives
no explanation for this, at the time of absence. During the period from
September 2000 and May 2001, 1239 unauthorised absences were noted, involving
128 pupils, with at least one such absence.
At Lydgate Junior and Infant School we expect
all pupils to attend regularly. Every day out of school is a missed opportunity
for learning. A sense of punctuality and its importance is an integral
part of the curriculum
