Attendance

As you know, improving attendance is one of our key priorities. It is very important that your child regularly attends school and that they arrive on time. This ensures your child feels included and part of the school day. 

Attendance

We understand that there will be times when your child is unable to come to school. If this is the case, please contact the school office before 9am stating the reason why your child will not be in school. You can contact us by phone (01302 853289) or you can email [email protected] explaining the reason why your child is absent from school.

If your child is absent from school and we have not heard from you, we will:

• Send you a text and email asking you to contact school

• Call you 

• If we have still had no contact from you then we may visit you and your child at home

We can offer support if your child’s attendance becomes a concern and work with you to remove any barriers to your child regularly attending school. If you ever need any support with attendance or punctuality, please do not hesitate to contact to following staff:

Attendance Initiatives

We also give buns to the class who has the best attendance for the week as well as the Woodfield attendance trophy.

Leave of Absence

If your child requires a leave of absence request form please collect one from the main office.  These forms should be completed for when a child will be absent due to going on holiday during term time.  We follow Doncaster Council’s guidance for holidays during term time.
