Reporting Absences
What if my child is off?
We expect your child to attend school every day, however, if your child is ill and unable to attend or is absent for any other reason, please inform the school office before 9am daily. As a school we have a duty of care and therefore if we do not hear from you we will contact you via a phone call or carry out a home visit.
SCHOOL TELEPHONE NUMBER: 01482 328569
The school office is open from 8.00am – 4.00pm Mon-Thurs. 8:00am – 3:30pm on Friday. Messages can be left on the answerphone out of these hours.
Missing School Matters!
The Local Authority has produced these information leaflets to support families to understand the impact of poor attendance on children’s education. Please choose a link from below to read ‘Missing School Matters!’
• If your child has a medical appointment, please bring your appointment card/ letter to the office where we can authorise the absence.
• Remember – every day spent in school helps your child to make progress.
• Children whose attendance falls below 90% will be classed as persistent absentees and be invited in to meet with the Headteacher to discuss what support can be offered to improve attendance.
Term-time Holidays
Planned Absence/Holiday forms are available at the school office.
THE SCHOOL WILL NOT AUTHORISE ANY HOLIDAYS.
In exceptional circumstances, such as children of members of the armed forces, acute crisis within the family and court order/formal agreement where parents have separated, it may be possible to review this.
Where children miss 10 consecutive sessions (5 School Days) a referral will be made to Hull City Council which may result in a penalty notice and fine.
Sometimes children become unwell or have an accident at school and we will need to contact you. Please make sure we have up to date contact details for you.
Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are excellent. They are respectful, considerate and polite. Pupils are incredibly thoughtful and look after one another
I have had a lovely afternoon hearing the Year 1 children read so thank you. I was so impressed with the calmness and maturity of the children.
I have full faith in Mrs Clarkson and her wonderful team. They have bent over backwards over the past year to make sure my daughter has an education and I know they will continue to do so. They are amazing and I am so great full for their support for my child throughout the lockdowns. They have exceeded my expectations as they always go the extra mile.
My child loves the school and enjoys her time here.
Pupils feel safe and cared
for in the school. Parents agree.
Thank you so much, our child couldn’t be happier.
I would like to express my gratitude to the extent the school supports the festival of Eid Ul Adha. Not only by allowing the children a day to celebrate with their families but also by celebrating these events in the school as well.
We are very happy with the school and our child’s progress.
Pearson Primary School has gone above and beyond the realms of every day teaching and learning in this challenging year. Thank you to the wonderful staff for all they do, both seen and unseen. Our child is happy, inspired, challenged, supported and making progress – what more could we ask for?
The teachers are always looking out for the children and they are nice to the children.
Pupils work hard to be positive role models and give support to others. They are
very proud of the work they do as restorative practitioners, play buddies and wellbeing ambassadors. This is a highly inclusive school.
