Dear Parents and Carers
Here is an update from Mrs Lewin on our Attendance Policy and processes, in partnership with the Council of the Isles of Scilly and Truro & Penwith Academies Trust.
There is a ‘Long Read’ letter or a ‘Short Read’ information sheet attached: please choose whichever option suits you better. You can also read our full Five Islands Academy Attendance Policy here: https://fiveislands.scilly.sch.uk/download/attendance-policy/#
Some of our processes have been updated this year. We hope that these communications provide clarity about how we are working together to improve school attendance, and that they convey our key message:
“We want our school to be a place where children feel safe, seen and supported, and where parents feel comfortable to talk to us when there are barriers to attendance.”
