Welcome to St George's attendance page. At St George's we actively try to promote and encourage good attendance at school. Pupils need to be on time and in school every day to reach their full potential.
We keep parents informed about the % levels of attendance for their child and offer support with attendance where necessary. All children are offered a free bagel for breakfast on during morning break.
Attendance is constantly monitored and we meet with the Education Welfare Officer regularly to discuss attendance. If your child's attendance falls below 90% or repeatedly arrives late to school, a referral will be made to the E.W.O who may take further action.
The school gate opens at 8:40am and all children must be in school and ready to learn at 8:45.
If your child is unwell , please contact the school office on 01752 224863 or email geo.admin@stcmat.org by 9.00 am. If no correspondence has been made to school regarding a child's absence, admin staff will attempt to contact parents and other contacts on file to ascertain the reason for absence.
If your child has a medical appointment then please collect an absence request form from the office. You will also need to provide evidence of the appointment. Where possible please complete this form in advance. Pupils are expected to attend school either side of their appointment and only take time out of school if it is unavoidable.
We cannot authorise holidays.
Decisions will be made on a case by case basis and dependent on individual circumstances.
