School Attendance

Attendance and punctuality is extremely important here at our school.

  • Excellent attendance and punctuality is directly linked to academic and personal success.  
  • Regular attendance promotes the effective learning of all.  
  • Regular attendance promotes wellbeing and the ability to maintain positive friendships.  
  • Regular attendance and high levels of punctuality will assist in developing self-discipline and will help to prepare students for their future. 

At Harbottle C of E (Aided) First School we expect 96% attendance and above from all pupils. It is parents’ responsibility to ensure their child has regular school attendance. 

If your child is absent, you are required to contact the school each day of your child’s absence by 8.45am giving an explanation for their absence.
