Attendance
Attendance at Yelvertoft School has generally been good.
We are aware that some children starting school in September are not Compulsory School Age until the following summer term. We identify this when we monitor our attendance figures.
We monitor our attendance closely, this includes authorised and un-authorised absence. We do not authorise any holidays in term time and we closely monitor pupils who fall below 95% attendance.
We will then send letters home to parents if any pupils attendance drops below 90%.
We circulate guidance to parents annually to remind them of the importance of their child being in school every day that is possible.
