St Martin’s places great importance on maintaining high levels of attendance and regards 95% and above as an acceptable level. As a school we are committed to raising attainment as well as supporting wellbeing. In addition to delivering a high standard of education, your child’s attendance is key to ensuring the best possible experience and outcome of their time with us.

Remember, it is your legal obligation as a parent or carer to ensure your child is attending school on a regular basis (Education Act 1996)
