2024 Attendance Policy Quick Guide for Parents
Requesting an Absence in Term Time
All parents/carers must complete a form at least TWO WEEKS before taking any planned leave during term time.
St. Augustine’s is open for 190 days each year.
10 days schooling makes a big difference to your child. It affects their ability to succeed and the opportunity for them to make friends.
If you have 10 days out of school this will mean your child has only 180 days at school this year. They can only achieve 94.74% attendance which is below the average attendance for a child at this school. Add another 5 days off sick and this will drop to 92.11%.
Please be aware of new updated guidance from 19th August 2024.
You should read the information below before you request an absence.
