Attendance
Every day in school matters
Regular attendance at school is very important. At Elloughton Primary School we monitor attendance closely to ensure all pupils have the best opportunity to learn and achieve.
Each child's attendance and absence is recorded and closely monitored by the school.
Why attendance matters
Good attendance is essential for children to achieve their full potential.
Every day at school provides valuable learning opportunities and helps children develop important social skills, friendships and confidence.
Even small amounts of absence can have an impact on a child’s progress. Missing just a few days each term can mean that children fall behind in their learning.
95% attendance = 9.5 days missed in a school year
90% attendance = 19 days missed in a school year
85% attendance = 28.5 days missed in a school year
Children who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed in their learning and feel confident and settled at school.

Planned absence and leave during term time
Parents must complete an Absence from School for Exceptional Circumstances Request Form and submit this to the school with sufficient notice to allow the request to be considered.. Click here to download the form. Leave of absence during term time will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Children must attend a full session in order to receive a present mark unless they have an authorised reason to leave early. If a child is taken out of school without prior approval, parents may be liable for a penalty notice issued by East Riding Council. Penalty notices from East Riding Council are £80 per household for each child taken out of school. Further information about attendance procedures can also be found on the East Riding Council website. Further information |
