Pupil Attendance

We want to work with you to ensure your child is at school everyday. Your child will achieve so much more by being in school regularly. 

At Camrose Primary the expectation is that every child will attend school daily as per the school calendar.

We do not permit unauthorised absence and any parent taking children out of school during term time will be subject to a penalty notice and a fine. Please look at the term dates and ensure you do not book any holidays within the term time period. Despite the wonderful opportunities, exciting curriculum, specialist subjects, superb behaviour and hard work of almost everyone to ensure excellent progress, your child/ren will not make progress if they are not in school consistently. 

Every child that misses school is vulnerable and his/her progress and attainment are likely to be affected negatively. It is also extremely unsettling. 

For some children, attending school every day will be harder than for others. This is why we are committed to working together with families to solve problems and support your child’s school attendance.

Being in school and having the best attendance possible underpins all the many benefits of school for your child, such as their learning, wellbeing and wider development.
