Attendance and Absences
Excellent attendance and punctuality have a direct impact on student progress and are key skills that children will require throughout their lives. Please read the Academy's Attendance Guide for our expectations regarding behaviour and protocols in the case of student absence.
If a child is absent due to sickness or any other reason, please phone the Divisional Office to report their absence first thing in the morning. There are also times when an absence is unavoidable and in such cases, parents are asked to contact the Academy in advance whenever possible.
