We hope you had a fantastic Christmas and joyous new year, everyone at Haytor View sends you the best of wishes for 2017. We’d like to thank everyone who supported the Christmas Celebrations in school prior to the break. Whether attending performances, our ‘church visit’ or class-based activities your support was very much appreciated by children and adults alike – Thank you!
We are now back at school and working hard to continue to ensure your child’s progress over the course of this term, which is a shorter one than the Autumn. With this in mind, it is imperative that your child is in school and on time everyday. As always we will be taking extra care to monitor children’s attendance and punctuality, as this has such a fundamental impact on your child’s learning and progress.
If your child is unwell and absent from school, you must contact the school office to inform them. If you do not contact the school office, the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. The responsibility for ensuring the school is aware of the reasons for a child’s absence rests with the parent.
The Education Welfare Officer is continuing to work with the school to address matters of attendance, therefore she will be following up children where unauthorised absences are accruing.
Please speak with Mrs Galling if you have queries regarding attendance and absence.
