At Outwood Academy Easingwold, excellent attendance and punctuality is our aim for every child. We set an attendance target of 95% as the minimum that we expect for all students.
Evidence shows that those children who attend school regularly make better progress academically and socially. To help a child achieve full attendance, parents and carers play a critical role in helping us promote good attitudes towards attendance.
Together, it is important we ensure that children are present at every opportunity, arriving on time, and not being taken out of the academy without authorisation. A child's attendance is monitored closely, and we will follow up unexplained absences with parents or carers.
Where a child's attendance record reaches a concerning level, we will contact the child's parents or carers to discuss ways in which we can support all parties to help improve the child's attendance.
If a child is too ill to attend School, it is important that the child's parents or carers contact us as soon as possible by telephone on 01347 821451
We ask you contact us each day that your child is absent.
