Orwell MAT Attendance - Statement of Expectation
At Orwell Multi Academy Trust, we expect all children to be in school every day, unless they are too ill to attend. Term time holiday will not be authorised and will result in a fine. Unauthorised absence will result in legal intervention.
Every school in the Trust has staff who can support you with your child’s attendance, so we ask that you work with us to ensure that your child is in school, on time, every day.

Attendance Expectations
| 100% | The target for everyone. Rewards available for pupils reaching this. |
| Over 97% | = 5 days absence (or less) in one year. Very good attendance. |
| Below 97% | Your child's chances of good grades are in danger. Support from Mrs Robinson and class teachers is available if you are ill for long periods or have other reasons for days of absence from school. We can help. |
| Below 90% | = more than 4 school weeks off school. This is called "Persistent Absence". Your child's chance of good grades is negatively affected. |
