Attendance
Children are expected to attend school for 190 days per year. You should telephone the school on 5537630 before 9.30am on the 1st day your child is absent.If for any reason you cannot telephone a note must be provided on the day your child returns to explain their absence. Children who do not attend school without explanation from parents are considered to be unauthorised absences. The Headteacher may grant leave of absence for up to 10 days in a school year. Absence beyond 10 days for holidays are considered unauthorised. There are new procedures for dealing with persistent non-attendance at school.
Diamond Hall works closely with the “Every Schoolday Counts” team to encourage our children to be good attenders at school.
