Parents and Carers. Ensuring your child’s regular attendance at school is a parent/carers legal responsibility (section of the 1996 Education Act) and permitting absence from school that is not authorised by the school creates an offence in law. Parents will: • Ensure your child attends regularly • Inform the school on the first day of absence • Discuss with the Headteacher any planned absences well in advance and complete the relevant paperwork available from the School Office • Support the school to aim for 100% attendance each year for your child • Make sure that any absence is clearly accounted for by phone or in person on the first and subsequent days of absence, or by letter if a phone is unavailable • Avoid taking their child out of school for non-urgent medical or dental appointments. • Only request for leave of absence if it is for an exceptional circumstances. Recording Attendance Legally the register must be marked twice daily. This is once at the start of the school day 9.00 am and again for the afternoon session at 1.05 pm. Lateness / Punctuality It is important to be on time at the start of the morning and afternoon school sessions and to lessons. The start of school/lessons are used to give out instructions or organise work. If your child is late they can miss work, time with their class teacher getting vital information, cause disruption to the lesson for others, and can be embarrassing leading to possible further absence. • The school day begins at 9.00 am and all pupils are expected to be in school at the time. Morning registration is at 9.00 am and it closes at 9.15 am • All lateness is recorded daily. This information will be required by the courts, should a prosecution for non-attendance or lateness be necessary • Arrival after the close of registration will be marked as unauthorised absence code ‘U’ in line with county and Department for Education (DfE) guidance. This mark shows them to be on site, but is legally recorded as an absence • If a pupil is late due to a medical appointment, they will receive an authorised absence coded ‘M’. Please be advised that where possible doctors and dentists appointments are to be made outside of school hours or during school holidays.

Parents and Carers. Parents play the most important role in the development of their children and as such the school will ensure that parents have the skills and knowledge they need to ensure the safety of children outside the school environment. Through the website and school newsletters, the school will keep parents up to date with new and emerging e-Safety risks and will involve parents in strategies to ensure that students are empowered. Technology Saint John’s Primary uses a range of devices including PCs and iPads. In order to safeguard the students and in order to prevent loss of personal data we employ the following assistive technology: Internet Filtering – we use SWGFL filtering service that prevents unauthorised access to illegal websites.
