Attendance Information\u00a0<\/h2>

At\u00a0Tickenham Church of England Primary School, we want and expect our pupils to attend school every day, unless they are really not well enough to.<\/p>

We believe children who attend regularly are more likely to feel settled in school, maintain friendships, keep up with their learning and gain the greatest benefit from their education.<\/p>

Attending on time every day also helps pupils form good habits which can stay with them throughout their education and on into the workplace.\u00a0<\/p>

Support for Your Child in School<\/h3>

Please remember we are here to help in any way we can. If you have any concerns about your child that you wish to discuss with us, please do get in touch.<\/p>

Arriving at School on Time<\/h3>

Arriving at school on time is not only essential for the pupil\u2019s own learning, it encourages habits of good timekeeping and lessens any classroom disruption. Late arrival means pupils risk missing important information which can seriously disadvantage them.<\/p>

Our school gates open at 8:40am and all classes begin morning activities immediately to make the most of every minute of learning.<\/p>

Children should be in school by 8:50am, when the register is taken.<\/p>

If a pupil arrives after 8:50am, they will be marked in the register as late.<\/p>

Staff may ask to meet with parents\/carers of pupils who regularly arrive late to discuss reasons for lateness and explore solutions.<\/p>

Illness<\/h3>

Pupils should attend school on every day the school is open, unless they are really not well enough to.<\/p>

Minor ailments should not be a reason for staying at home. If your child attends school when feeling slightly under the weather, do let a member of staff know and we will monitor them and contact you if we think they need to go home. If you aren\u2019t sure whether or not to send your child to school, please contact us on tel: 01275 853919 and we will be happy to advise. \u00a0<\/p>

You can also see further guidance on the Parent Factsheet at the end of this web page.<\/p>

If your child is too ill to attend, you must notify the School before 8:45amon the first day of absence. If your child is ill for more than one day, you will need to notify the School on each morning of the absence, unless otherwise agreed.<\/p>
