Attendance Policy:
Please ring us on the first day of your child’s absence giving a reason. Alternatively, you may send a written explanation with the home-school transport.
If you know in advance about hospital appointments or other absences please let us know by writing a message in the home-school diary or ringing the school.
If your child is absent for more than two days without explanation, we may contact you to find out why your child is absent. Please do not be offended that we should do so.
It is a requirement on all schools to regularly report levels of authorised and unauthorised absences. Authorised absences are the result as such events as illness, unavoidable medical appointments, family emergencies, transport failure, and special religious festivals. Unauthorised absences are recorded when there is no acceptable reason given for a child not being in school.
If your child arrives at school after 9.45, this will be recorded as a late arrival unless there is an acceptable reason, e.g. hospital visit, breakdown of home-school transport. Lateness without an acceptable reason will be counted as an unauthorised absence.
If you expect your child to only be absent for the morning and return by lunchtime, please confirm this so we can make sure a school meal is ordered.
Holidays and Leave:
The head teacher may give permission for up to ten days absence (or twenty sessions - mornings or afternoons) from school during any year for holidays or family events such as weddings, family gatherings, etc.
However, you should complete a form requesting permission at least two weeks in advance. If you need a holiday form you can get one from the school office or download and print it out by clicking the following link: Holiday Form

School Meals:
Cost of school meals is currently £ per week. Please send the money in an envelope with your child’s name and class written clearly on it. For a copy of the menu click HERE. The menu can change without notice.
The cost of the school meals is still heavily subsidised by North Lincolnshire Council. However, some parents on low income are entitled to free school meals. You can download a form for applying for free school meals clicking the following link: Free school meals. You also can phone the Education Benefits Section for more help on (Tel: 01724 297217).
Snacks: The school makes healthy foods and drinks available for snacks. The schools does ask for a voluntary contribution of £3 each half-term towards the costs. The money partially offsets the cost to the school. Children will still receive the same healthy snacks and drinks if their parents can not afford to make a contribution. A letter will be sent to you each half-term requesting a voluntary contribution. Contributions need to be sent in an envelope with your child’s name.

What Children Should Wear:
There is an optional school uniform. This was developed after consultation with parents.
The uniform is a royal blue sweatshirt with the name of the school in gold. Each child will receive their first sweatshirt free on admission to the school. Thereafter, parents can buy replacements at cost.
