All children should be at school, on time, every day the school is open, unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. The government and local authority set a target for overall attendance. At the end of the academic year 2020-21 overall attendance for the whole school was 97.9% (this figure does not include authorised absences due to Covid-19 illness or isolation).
Any child's attendance that falls below 90% is considered persistent absence.
