We are becoming increasingly concerned with the number of unauthorised absences on Fridays, which has become our lowest attending day. Some pupils have missed 3 Fridays in a 6-week period, resulting in a significant impact on their learning.

Completing a full week of school is crucial for academic progress. Missing 4 Fridays in an 8-week term means a loss of over 20 hours of valuable learning time. This can quickly lead to gaps in your child’s education, making it harder for them to keep up.

Please be aware that pupils with repeated unauthorised absences on Fridays will be monitored closely to ensure their attendance improves.

We appreciate your understanding and support in this matter.
