Attendance​​

At Ivydale we recognise that good attendance at school gives children the best chance of success. We aim to work together with families to ensure attendance is as high as possible and we expect children to attend school every day unless they are sick.

Parents and carers must contact the school by phone, in person or via pupil@ivydale.southwark.sch.uk every day that their child is off school to explain why they are off. No term time holidays will be authorised, so please don't book them. Any unexplained absences are classed as unauthorised and will be followed up.

When a child has high levels of absence or any unexplained absences we will support the family to improve attendance.
