At Parkside, we believe that excellent attendance is the foundation of success. Every day in school matters, and being present allows our young people to learn, grow and take full advantage of the opportunities available to them. Our aim is for every child to succeed, and strong attendance ensures they can truly be a part of our school community – academically, socially and personally. We want to see our students, thriving in lessons, building friendships and gaining the skills and knowledge they need for the future.
We are proud of the positive culture at Parkside, where students genuinely want to come to school because they feel safe, supported and valued. Strong, trusting relationships with staff mean our young people know they will be encouraged and cared for, as well as challenged to achieve their very best. Together with parents and carers, we work to ensure every child develops the resilience and commitment needed to maintain excellent attendance – because being in school every day is the key to unlocking success.
If you need any support with attendance or have questions about your child’s attendance, please don’t hesitate to contact the school and ask to speak with Mr Boden, our Attendance Manager, who will be happy to help.
Our Attendance Policy is available from our Policies Page
