Attendance
Our attendance target this term is 95%.
Absence
Every day your child is absent from school they miss five hours of high-quality education. Any absence has a significant impact on the progress a child makes.
If your child is ill and will not be attending school, please phone before 9.05am. Please phone 01295 251205 and leave a message on our absence line or email absence@hillviiew-school.co.uk.
Arrivals after 8.40am will be marked as late, arrivals after 9.05am will be marked as unauothorised absence.
Extended leave and holidays
Due to recent legislative changes, leave of absence can now only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.
Schools are not obligated to approve any term‑time leave, and holidays during school time are not an entitlement. Each request will be reviewed on an individual basis.
