Attendance

For a student to reach their full educational potential, a high level of school attendance is essential. We consistently work towards a goal of 100% attendance for all students, however, we do accept that illness is inevitable occasionally. We ask that medical appointments are arranged for outside of school hours. Where this is not possible, parents are requested to opt for appointment times either at the start or end of the day so students do not miss a whole day of school. Parents must collect children from the school Reception as students are not permitted to leave the premises during the day unaccompanied.

Registration is taken at 8.45am. If a student is absent, their parent must make the school aware of the reason by 9.15am and provide any further information that the school needs. If no message has been received by 9.30am the school will phone or text the student’s parent for confirmation of absence and reason. Parents can make the school aware of absence via a letter, telephone call, email (enquiries@theroseland.co.uk) or by visiting the school Reception.

At The Roseland Academy, we believe that every day matters and this is supported by result outcomes. Instilling attendance routines from the start of secondary school ensures consistency in academic performance throughout The Roseland and will reflect in GCSE results.
