Attendance Policy

Regular attendance at school is essential to promote the education of all pupils; it is also a means by which we can support the safeguarding of pupils. We want children to know that their presence in school is important and that they are missed when they are absent or late. The school will take appropriate action when necessary in order to promote the aims of the policy.

Behaviour

Our Behaviour Policy is underpinned by principles set by our Governing Body. Good behaviour is an essential outcome of the education process; our school has a central role in children’s social and moral development just as it does in their academic development. Children bring to school a wide variety of behaviour patterns based on differences in home values, attitudes and experiences and so we must set standards of behaviour based on the core principles of honesty, respect, consideration and responsibility. All adults in school have a responsibility to model high standards of behaviour, both in their dealings with the children and with each other; their example is a significant influence on the children.

Charging and Remissions

Lidget Primary School believes that all our pupils should have an equal opportunity to benefit from school activities and visits (curricular and extra curricular) independent of their parents’ financial means. This charging policy describes how we will do our best to ensure a good range of visits and activities is offered and, at the same time, try to minimise the finacial barriers which may prevent some pupils taking full advantage of the opportunities.

Complaints Procedure

We are proud that the school has excellent relationships with our parents and with our local community. From time to time parents may have a concern about their child’s education or well-being, or a member of the public may have a concern about some aspect of the school. We are always happy to look into these concerns. Most concerns can be resolved by informal discussion with a member of the school staff. The attached policy outlines the process for making a formal complaint.
