Attendance

At St Rose’s Catholic Infants school, we believe in developing good patterns of attendance and set high expectations for the attendance and punctuality for all our pupils from the outset. It is a central part of our school’s vision, values, ethos and day to day life. We recognise the strong connections between attendance, attainment, safeguarding and wellbeing.  

We do understand that there are times when children are unwell and are therefore they will be absent from school.

Please use this guide to help decide if your child needs to be absent from school and for how long:

Attendance Matters

At St Rose’s Catholic Infants School, every child’s attendance matters to us. Please read this document, ‘Attendance Matters’ to find out more information. 

Punctuality 

At St Rose’s Catholic Infants School, we promote punctuality and children arriving at school on time. By arriving to school on time, the children have the opportunity to maximise their learning time and helps develop hey habits such as organisation and independence.

Being persistently late to school can have a knock on effect upon children’s emotional wellbeing and regular time being late adds up throughout the school year.
