Attendance

Skerne Park Academy seeks to ensure that all pupils receive a full-time education which maximises opportunities for each pupil to realise their true potential.  The school will provide a welcoming, caring environment, whereby each member of the school community feels wanted and secure. All school staff will work with pupils and their families to ensure each pupil attends school regularly and punctually.

 The school will establish an effective system of incentives and rewards that acknowledges the efforts of pupils to improve their attendance and timekeeping and will challenge the behaviour of those pupils and parents who give low priority to attendance and punctuality.

 To meet these objectives Skerne Park Academy will establish an effective and efficient system of communication with pupils, parents and appropriate agencies to provide mutual information, advice and support.

Please go to the ‘School Day Timings‘ page for further information regarding timings.
