At Amberley, we believe that to facilitate teaching and learning, good attendance is essential. Pupils cannot achieve their full potential if they do not regularly attend school. We understand that barriers to attendance are complex, and that some pupils find it harder than others to attend school; therefore, we will continue to prioritise cultivating a safe and supportive environment at school, as well as strong and trusting relationships with pupils and parents.

We take a whole-school approach to securing good attendance and recognise the impact that our efforts in other areas – such as the curriculum, behaviour standards, bullying, SEND support, pastoral support, and the effective use of resources such as pupil premium – can have on improving pupil attendance.

We would like to encourage parents to avoid keeping their children out of school where at all possible, every day absent is a day of learning that is missed. Please refer to our attendance and absence policy for more details.

​

If your child is ill however, please notify the office as soon as possible by telephone on 01453 873349. Following any sickness or diarrhoea, at school or at home, children should not come into school for a minimum of 48 hours.
