School Attendance
Barrow School aims to ensure its pupils benefit fully from the education we seek to provide by maximising the attendance of each student. We believe that children can only learn effectively if they attend school regularly. It is important too that children arrive and leave school on time, and equally that children should not be at school if they are unwell.
All children need to attend school for the full 190 days of the academic year in order to receive their educational entitlement and to make the most of that education. Children with poor attendance tend to achieve less well.
Through communication with parents/carers, we will ensure that they are made fully aware of the school’s Policy on Attendance, and that all children are made aware of the value of regular attendance.
We expect that all pupils will:
- attend school regularly
- attend school punctually
Please see our school attendance policy below.
