Attendance
At Bewsey Lodge we expect 100% attendance from our whole school community: pupils, teachers and support staff too. However, some absences can't be avoided, such as: serious illnesses or unavoidable hospital appointments.
Please keep us informed regarding any planned absence from school.
Holidays in term time
Following the recent High Court ruling regarding holidays in term time, the following is the Local Authority's position for all Warrington schools.
Holidays will be authorised only in exceptional circumstances. The majority of requests will not be agreed by head teachers and so will be marked as an unauthorised absence. The threshold for referral to the Local Authority for consideration is less than 90% attendance over any academic year. This figure includes any absence from school not just absence for the purpose of a holiday. Although penalty notices are not issued in Warrington, there is a clear process in place for challenging poor school attendance which can lead to prosecution in magistrate’s court.
As a service we fully appreciate the financial constraints that some families face when booking holidays. However, there is an expectation that all schools introduce stringent checks to ensure that there is a significant reduction in the number of absences during term time.
Please keep us informed regarding any planned absence from school.
School Closure
In the event of a possible school closure we would always try to contact Parents/Carers directly via a telephone call or text message. Information may also be found on our School Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bewsey.lodge.5
