Attendance, Absence and Holidays

It is important that parents inform the school, by telephone (01902 55 8350) or email (info@westcroftschool. co.uk) if their child is to be absent from school, on the first day, and third day..

Our Office Staff will chase up 1st day absences if we have not heard anything from home. Pupils whose attendance falls below 95% will be monitored closely. Persistent poor attendance, without mitigating circumstances, could lead to prosecution.

HOLIDAYS

As of 19th August 2024 there are new national guidelines regarding attendance.  Holidays will no longer be authorised during the school term.

Unauthorised absences over 5 days during a 10 week period may result in a fine.

Holidays during term time will count as unauthorised absences.
