Attendance
Being at school is a very important part of any child’s life. It enables them to learn, to make friends, to gain important knowledge and to develop a variety of skills which will prepare them for adult life.
School and parents/carers are partners in making this a success. As parents/carers it is your legal responsibility to make sure that your child makes the most of this opportunity by attending regularly.
​
This year, we are working together to increase our school attendance and punctuality.
​
As a school, we offer many supportive measures to improve attendance.
These staff members can support you directly with attendance:
Attendance Champions
Our Office Staff
Mrs Richards

Mrs Tromans
Deputy Headteacher
Mrs Wise
Head of Inclusion
Mrs Gill Attendance Officer

Mrs Roe
Our Sandwell Council Support Officer is Padymore Furidze.
However, our wider repertoire of support may include any of our teachers, support staff or also our behaviour, emotional and mental health support team, safeguarding team or from our SENDCo Mrs Favata.
Remember we also offer breakfast club from 7.45am and after school club until 6pm to support with childcare/arrival at school on time.
A reminder that gates are open between 8.35am and 8.50am. Anyone arriving after 8.50am will need to be registered in Reception by their parent/carer and will receive a late mark in the register.
We will also continue to subsidise funding to ensure every child is offered a bakery breakfast on entry to school, and also fund fruit for all at breaktime.
With the support of families, together we will work together to improve attendance.
Thank you for your continued support.
​
All children are expected to attend school regularly. We actively promote 100% attendance for all our pupils. In cases of illness, parents are asked to telephone the school on 0121 557 9242 and speak to a member of the office team or leave a message on the absence line.
You can also contact us by emailing headteacher@tiptongreen.org.uk Please remember to give specific details of the illness. If the absence continues for any length of time, please keep the school updated. A note confirming the reason for absence should be sent in with your child upon their return.
Please note that absence due to sickness or diarrhoea requires your child to be away from school for 48 hours.
