The Role of Parents in Ensuring Good School Attendance

 

It is the duty of parents to secure an education for children of compulsory school age.

At Cam Hopton we expect that children will aim for 100% attendance.

We have attached some information leaflets from Gloucestershire County Council to support you in understanding the processes which take place to support you and your child.

Any requests for absence during term time should be made by completing an Absence Request Form - found in the 'Important Information' tab of this section - and returning it to the school office.
