Attendance 

Introduction to Lomeshaye Junior Schools Attendance Expectations

At Lomeshaye Junior School we recognise that attending school regularly has a positive impact on learning, progress and therefore the best life chances for children. We will encourage good attendance for all pupils, by offering an environment in which pupils feel valued and part of the school community. Department for Education (DfE) guidance states that all schools should have effective systems and procedures for encouraging regular school attendance and investigating the underlying causes of poor attendance.

Within this section of the website we will be highlighting different aspects of attendance for example, extended leave, persistent absence, attendance statistics and reward schemes.

If you have any concerns regarding your child's attendance, please don't hesitate to contact either the office, your child's class teacher or Anita Spokes (Head of School) on 01282 612063.

Please read the attached information and guidance about how Parents and Schools can work together to improve attendance.
