Attendance and Exclusions

Attendance

Attendance refers to the amount of time that a child or young person attends their educational provision, and how often they are absent.

Parents and carers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their child receives a suitable education for their age and aptitude, either by regular attendance at school or through education otherwise, e.g. where a parent provides elective home education, where parents take full responsibility to educate their child.

Exclusion

If the school or setting is telling you that your child or young person is not allowed to attend, then this is considered an exclusion.
