Attendance Support

At Grove Street, we understand that sometimes it can be more difficult to get your children to school. We offer the following support network to help families:

• A Dojo message home on the first day of absence 
• A phone call from the office
• Dojo message home explaining how much learning time has been lost
• ELSA support for families and children
• Attendance Report Cards in KS2, if your attendance falls below 92%
• Letters home 
• Support Meetings with Lucy McKeown (Locality Attendance Officer) if attendance falls below 90%

If all these steps don't help to improve your child's attendance, the school may look to request a penalty notice from the
local authority.
