Attendance


Attendance

We wish to promote behaviour that will contribute to maintaining the values of The Galfrid School and create a climate which supports outstanding learning and achievement.

High attainment depends on good attendance.

To promote good attendance and to emphasise its importance, the School offers rewards weekly (through class attendance competitions), half-termly and termly. Please read our Attendance Policy for more details.

Sickness and Absence

If a child is too unwell to come to school or may pass infection to others, they should not attend school. In this case please inform the school office before 8.00am on each day of absence.

Our Attendance Policy provides further details on term time absence. If a parent needs to request term time absence they must inform the Headteacher in writing using the Absence Request Form. Absence Request will not be authorised unless there are exceptional circumstances.
