Attendance Escalation

A decline in attendance without medical evidence will lead to the issuance of a Stage 1 letter sent home. If improvements are not observed, parents will be invited to attend a school-based meeting to discuss the necessary support.

If, despite these efforts, attendance issues persist, we may refer to Dominic Davison, Educational Welfare Officer. There is also the option of involving the GLC Attendance Panel where necessary.

Templates of the letters that we use at The Gateway Academy can be found at the bottom of this page.
