Absences: Parents/Carers are required to either telephone or email (attendance@amwell.herts.sch.uk) the school directly explaining the reason for absence. Messages should not be sent via transport staff. If we have not heard from parents/carers once the morning registers have closed at 9:35am, parents/carers will receive an automated Attendance Follow Up email and/or SMS notification from us via the Attendance Officer on Arbor. Once we have heard from parents the register will be amended accordingly. Children will be marked as an unauthorised absence if we do not hear from parents/carers.
Lateness: If children arrive after morning registers close at 09:35hrs they will be recorded as late.
Attendance statistics for pupils can be found on child's Arbor pupil profile, or requested by emailing the Attendance Officer (attendance@amwell.herts.sch.uk).
The School Attendance Officer monitors pupil attendance on a termly basis and has regular meetings with the Headteacher and the attendance link governor.
Please use the form below for Application for Leave of Absence due to Exceptional Circumstances. Please return the completed form to the Attendance Officer (attendance@amwell.herts.sch.uk). All requests for absence in term time must be approved by the Headteacher at least two weeks in advance.
