We know that lower levels of attendance can have a negative impact on a child\u2019s attainment, peer relationships, participation and ultimately future opportunities. It is essential, therefore, that we work closely with our school community to promote and ensure good attendance.<\/p>\n<p>School staff will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep a register of attendance of each child enrolled at school, through recording attendance twice a day.<\/li>\n<li>Take action to confirm that a child is safe if they are identified as having not arrived at school. If a parent cannot be reached, emergency contact details will be used.<\/li>\n<li>Review attendance termly to identify children causing concern due to patterns of non-attendance.<\/li>\n<li>Identify reasons for non-attendance and to take appropriate action to resolve any concerns. This will involve discussion, in some cases oral and written, with parents.<\/li>\n<li>Support children and families using staged intervention approaches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Parents\/carers have a key role to play in promoting good attendance. We ask parents\/carers to inform the school by phone or email denendps.enquiries@fife.gov.uk if their child is going to be absent. Attendance can be affected by many factors and we ask families to work in equal partnership to support good attendance at school.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst we understand you may wish to take your child on holiday during term-time, it is only under exceptional circumstances that schools can authorise this. In line with local authority guidance, therefore, holidays during term-time must be marked as unauthorised.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-306\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/denendps\/uploads\/sites\/14209\/2024\/02\/25090901\/Screenshot-2024-02-25-at-09.08.12-210x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/denendps\/uploads\/sites\/14209\/2024\/02\/25090901\/Screenshot-2024-02-25-at-09.08.12-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/denendps\/uploads\/sites\/14209\/2024\/02\/25090901\/Screenshot-2024-02-25-at-09.08.12-718x1024.png 718w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/denendps\/uploads\/sites\/14209\/2024\/02\/25090901\/Screenshot-2024-02-25-at-09.08.12-768x1095.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/denendps\/uploads\/sites\/14209\/2024\/02\/25090901\/Screenshot-2024-02-25-at-09.08.12.png 884w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School attendance At Denend Primary School we have a strong approach to promoting positive relationships and behaviour and ensuring all children are included, engaged and involved in their education.
