Reach Academy is focused on preventing persistent absence. There is a direct link between persistent absence from school, poor attainment and ‘not in employment, education or training’ (NEET) status. Good attendance at school is the single most important factor to ensure that pupils have the maximum life chances – attendance is strongly linked to educational achievement.
If your child cannot attend school, it is your responsibility to contact the school reception on 01924 478482 on the FIRST day of absence.
Reach Academy has clear procedures in place to ensure pupils attend school and the school will be in contact with parents during any periods of absence and on occasions of any prolonged absence. Should you be concerned about your child’s attendance then please contact a member of staff from their group.
