Attendance

Welcome to the Priory School Attendance page

Designer

At Priory School, we believe that excellent attendance is essential for students to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally. We are committed to working in partnership with parents and carers to support every student in attending school regularly and developing positive habits for lifelong success. 

On this page, you will find our Attendance Policy, supporting documents, and guidance to help you understand our expectations and procedures. You will also find links to a range of external support services that may provide additional help and advice for families when needed. 

We understand that there can be occasions when attendance becomes a concern, and we are here to offer support wherever possible. If you require further assistance, please contact your child's Year Team or our Attendance Lead using the details below.
