Attendance
At Christ Church we strive for all children to have 100% attendance. However, we understand that sometimes illnesses or circumstances may prevent this. If your child will be absent please ensure you ring the school office on 0151 319 3333 that morning to inform us why.
We monitor attendance closely with our attendance champion Mrs Weston and if this drops we will offer support from her and our Learning Mentor regarding this. Letters are sent out each term regarding attendance and opportunities to meet and discuss support.
Please see attached files for more information.
- If your child is off school ill please contact the school office and leave a message before 9.00am – 0151 319 3333
- Children who arrive at school after the children have come in to the building must be brought, by their parents, to the school office and officially signed in. Children will be registered as ‘late’ if they are not in the classroom for registration.
If you have exceptional reasons for requesting an absence for your child from school please put your request in writing to [email protected] . You can also request a Leave of Absence form at the office to complete too. We have a committee of governors who make decisions as to what is exceptional and what isn’t.
Parents could be fined if their child has had 10+ unauthorised sessions off school(1 day = 2 sessions).
