At Carrington we take school attendance seriously. We know poor attendance can have a direct and negative impact on children’s enjoyment of school and their academic performance.

We are very proud to be recognised for the hard work of the school and our families to achieve excellent levels of attendance.

If you are experiencing difficulties with school attendance or punctuality, please speak to your child’s teacher, the school office team or the attendance leader, Mr Digges. We are here to help and are keen to work together to improve attendance.

Absence and Illness:

Does your child have a cold, a headache or a cough? They can still come to school if they are well enough! We will take good care of them while they continue their learning. Read the NHS guidance about when children should be coming into school and when they must be kept at home.

Parents will be required to contact the school office on 01159156825 or email: admin@carrington.nottingham.sch.uk on the first day of their child’s absence – they will be expected to provide an explanation for the absence and an estimation of how long the absence will last.
