Attendance

Every day of education and indeed every lesson matters. In the National Curriculum where there is built in progression, children who are persistently late or absent soon get behind with learning and then do not understand current lessons when they return.

The introduction to a lesson and to the school day is crucial to the child’s understanding of their own learning. Children who miss school frequently will undoubtedly have gaps in their learning which will impede their progress and future ability to engage in lessons. This in turn has a knock on effect for their ability to concentrate and for their behaviour.

Frequent absence has a profound and cumulative effect on achievement.

Call to notify the school if your child will be absent for school on our absence line: 0208 161 4752.

Call on every day of absence unless it is due to a long term illness.

Evidence of hospital appointments must be emailed to: Mariam.Lawal@evelyngraceacademy.org

Please book all holidays outside of term time and endeavour to book all medical appointments outside of the school day. 

Students who are late, must sign in with Ms Lawal.

Students who are late to school will receive a 30min detention if they are late under 30 mins and a 60 min detention, if they are over 30 mins late.
