At Longtown Primary School excellent attendance and punctuality is our aim for every child. Full attendance maximises learning opportunities and parents/carers have a critical role in promoting good attitudes in attendance. We ask for support from parents/carers to ensure that their children are present at every opportunity, arrive on time and to avoid allowing children to stay at home unnecessarily, or taking them out of school without authorisation. Evidence shows that students who attend school regularly make better progress both academically and socially.
Please be aware of the updated guidance from the Department for Education (DfE) regarding attendance and holidays during term time. It is important for all parents and guardians to familiarise themselves with these changes to ensure compliance and support their child’s education.
If you require any support or further clarification, please contact Miss Bell, our Education Welfare Officer (EWO), who is available to assist you with any questions or concerns.
