Education Welfare Officer Report.

 

We have had a visit by our Education Welfare Officer (EWO). Unfortunately the EWO has flagged up a problem with the number of children who miss school due to unscheduled appointments.

 

We will now require WRITTEN confirmation of any medical (or other) appointments that you attend with your child. This can be in the form of Medical Letters, Appointment Cards or Letters from the hospital or your GP.

 

School should be informed prior to the appointment or prior to your child being collected during the school day.

 

It is vitally important for school to ensure that all its pupils are accounted for during the school day and that we track individual pupil attendance.

 

We are sure that all parents and carers will fully support us to make certain that every pupil is accessing as much of the school day as possible and keep absences to a minimum. Thank you.

 

 

SEAL :        THE THEME FOR THIS WEEK IS: ‘What makes me Excited?’

 

Think about activities and events that make your child excited. Share those thoughts and feeling with your child using signs or symbols.
