Attendance and Absence

We understand that many children coming into our school will not have attended school full-time, and we want to work closely with families to support children to be successful at school and build up their school stamina. We want children to want to come to school and feel that they can be successful learners here. Regular attendance and punctuality support children to feel a sense of belonging and have high expectations of themselves. 

The school day is 8.55am -2.55pm

Schools are only able to authorise absence from school in exceptional circumstances. Please note: there is no general right to authorise absence for a family holiday or other absence for the purposes of leisure or recreation. If you take your child out of school without permission, the absence will be unauthorised, and the local authority may consider legal action. 

If your child is unwell please call the office on 01264 362350 or email adminoffice@wolverdene.hants.sch.uk to inform us of your child's absence.

You are advised not to make any arrangements for a holiday until your request has been considered. The school holiday dates are available on this website.

Please use the form below to request an authorised absence, and complete and return this to the school office as soon as possible. Thank you
