Since the start of this term, our pastoral teams have now completed almost 200 home visits to support pupils and families with absence from school, in most cases resulting in improved attendance. It is important to us that all children feel safe and supported when attending school and we are keen to work with you to ensure that your child feels this way when attending school.

Unfortunately, the local authority have so far this term issued fixed penalty notices totalling almost £2,000 for avoidable school absence. We would also remind parents and carers that we do not authorise any term time holidays and would ask you to familiarise yourself with the school holiday attendance & punctuality leaflet for parents and carers available via our website.

Please email attendance@bloxwichacademy.co.uk if there is anything we can do to support you or your child. This email address is not monitored each morning so please do not use it to report absence.
