Attendance

Article 28: Your right to an Education!

Attendance is very important to us here at Haveley Hey. Our whole school target is 95% and we need your help to reach this!

Being in school every day, not only supports children academically, but also supports them socially. Getting into good habits with attendance and punctuality at a young age will support the children as they grow up and prepare them for a life in modern Britain.

If your child is late:
Please bring them in through the main entrance and sign them in using the Inventry system. 

Please be aware that an arrival after 9.10am will be recorded on the register as an unauthorised absence. 

If your child is unwell:

Please let us know by telephoning 0161 498 9508 or send a Dojo before 8:30am on each day your child is Ill. 

If you would like advice on whether your child needs to stay at home please do not hesitate to phone and speak to Mrs Burbidge our Attendance Officer.  Remember, a cold or tiredness in the morning is often forgotten when involved in school activities.

If you are experiencing difficulties in getting to school on time or with general attendance please come into school and speak with a member of staff. Good attendance is deemed  to be over 96% (set by the Government).  Attendance below 90% is deemed as Persistantly Absent (PA).  If you're child is PA, they are less likely to reach age related expectations as they will miss key learning.

Supporting Attendance During the World Cup

We know that many of our children and families are excitedly following England's journey in the World Cup, and we want to share in that excitement with them! However, as some matches are taking place late in the evening during the school week, we want to reassure parents and carers that we are doing everything we can to make coming into school the next day as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

On the morning after England's midweek match, we kicked off the day with a range of special World Cup themed activities, match highlights and discussion, football fun with friends, and Mr Heywood's very popular mini tournament — with children who arrived on time getting the chance to take part. We also treated every child to an ice lolly to help beat the heat and start the day with a smile!

We fully understand that late nights can make early mornings tricky, but we do ask that all children attend school and arrive on time, as the exciting activities take place first thing in the morning and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out.

Thank you for your continued support — and come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽
