A term dates calendar (currently only available for 19/20 academic year) has been created, which can be downloaded and synced with apps/online calendars - this does not include teacher training days.
The calendar is available for you to download, please share with families.
The Attendance team retain statutory responsibility to ensure all pupils are able to access education and attend school. As part of that function we have a safeguarding duty to monitor the use of B codes, off rolling to educate at home and part time timetables.
We have recently updated our reporting services and will be approaching schools with a number of queries relating to pupils not in school and coding.
We hope to have these resolved by the end of term with your help.
