At Melbourne Infant School we place great importance on high attendance for pupils. We believe that good attendance contributes to the general welfare of our children, and helps them to meet the challenging targets for achievement set by the school.
Every school day counts for your child and missed time means missed learning and opportunities. There are 365 days each year; of these 190 are school days which leaves 175 non school days for holidays, family time and appointments.
Our attendance policy, available below, sets out our approach to attendance at school.
