Attendance and punctuality
Our school vision for attendance
At Selwyn, we are committed to raising standards in achievement, attendance and punctuality. We use all possible opportunities to promote the importance of good attendance and punctuality as it is essential to maximise our pupils’ educational achievement and social development. In addition, strong attendance and punctuality improves the life chances of our students and prepares them to be fully contributing citizens when they reach adulthood.
Our policy
Our Pupil Attendance Policy – October 2024 and our Trust Attendance Policy, available on the Policies Page of the Trust website, detail our arrangements for the management of attendance, and includes a summary of guidance for parents and carers in Appendix 2.
Mark Shuker, Assistant Headteacher, is our Attendance Lead.
Ms Aneesa Sirkhot is our Attendance Officer and can be contacted on info@selwyn.ncltrust.net.

Should any child not be able to attend school, a parent or carer is required to contact the school office by 08:30am.
