Attendance Follow Up

The purpose of this information is to keep your fully informed about your son or daughter’s attendance and not to cause you distress or upset you. You can also monitor your son or daughter’s attendance on the School Portal at any time when you log in. If you have any questions about the attendance report please contact your son or daughter’s tutor teacher in the first instance.
