Policies
Paper copies of all documents are available from the school office and can be made available in any font & size, on request as required.
Attendance
School Attendance Policies should include reference to the following whilst reflecting your school’s own procedures. It is good practice to publish your attendance policy on your school website. Parents or carers will need to be regularly made aware of the terms of your policy – particularly with reference to the use of external agencies and your intended approach to the use of Fixed Penalty Notices or other parental measures to improve attendance. This includes parents/carers of pupils who join your school roll mid year.

SSCB Procedures
Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent LSCBs have worked together to produce joint policies and procedures in line with current legislation and statutory guidance. This has resulted in the need to reconfigure the presentation and order of the existing SSCB procedures to synergise the work of both Boards and improve the way in which the SSCB procedures were presented.
