We work closely with our families as we see them as partners in their child education and development. We promote coming to school every day to support children's academic achievement, positive mental health and well-being as well as lifelong learning and life skills. If you have any queries or questions please speak to an adult in your childs class team or contact the school office.

The government and school target for attendance is at least 96%.

 

 

Research commissioned by the Department for Education shows missing school for even a day can mean a child is less likely to achieve good grades, which can have a damaging effect on their life chances. At Arden Grove Infant & Nursery School our aim is to work with parents to ensure that all our pupils receive the most from their education and reach their full potential.

This section of our website is to remind all parents/carers regarding the law that requires them to ensure that their child attends school regularly. The Government remains very clear that no child should miss school apart from in exceptional circumstances and schools must continue to take steps to reduce absence to support children's attainment.

If the school does not receive a request for leave, the headteacher will be unable to consider your individual circumstances and the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. There will be no obligation on the headteacher to reconsider authorising the leave if an application has not been made in advance.
