Re: Unauthorised absence from school

Attendance has the single most influential impact on a student’s achievement, and as a school we all work together to ensure that our students achieve their maximum academic potential. You will already be aware that legislation has given principals/head teachers (as well as police officers and education welfare officers) the power to serve Penalty Notices on parents who permit their children to truant, arrive persistently late or take their children out of school without the school’s prior authorisation. I do of course appreciate the fact that the vast majority of our parents fully support their children’s regular and punctual attendance at school but I am writing in order to ensure that this discretionary power is properly explained to all parents so that any unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided.

The Herald brings you lots of news from the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, including articles from our four Directorates.

“Team Up”  recruits talented university students to join a Rising Leaders’ programme. These Rising Leaders then undertake a challenge that includes inspiring young people in their community. The desired results of the programme are that more pupils reach their academic potential and that the university students increase their leadership skills and enhance their career prospects.

Number Day, sponsored by Vosene Kids for the third year, is a fun-packed event, where schools take part in a range of exciting maths activities to raise money and make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children across the UK.

The Maths department joins the English, History and Geography departments who already have the Mark in recognition of their continuing commitment to inspirational teaching.
