Absence and Penalty Notices from August 2024
Penalty notices are issued to parents as an alternative to prosecution where they have failed to ensure that their child of compulsory school age regularly attends the school where they are registered or, in certain cases, at a place where alternative provision is provided. Penalty notices can be used by all schools (with the exception of independent schools) where the pupil’s absence has been recorded with one or more of the unauthorised codes and that absence(s) constitutes an offence. A penalty notice can be issued to each parent liable for the offence or offences. They should usually only be issued to the parent or parents who have allowed the absence (regardless of which parent has applied for a leave of absence).
The threshold for issuing penalty notices is 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in a rolling period of 10 school weeks. A school week means any week in which there is at least one school session. This can be met with any combination of unauthorised absence (e.g. 4 sessions of holiday taken in term time plus 6 sessions of arriving late after the register closes all within 10 school weeks). These sessions can be consecutive (e.g. 10 sessions of holiday in one week) or not (e.g. 6 sessions of unauthorised absence taken in 1 week and 1 per week for the next 4 weeks). The period of 10 school weeks can also span different terms or school years (e.g. 2 sessions of unauthorised absence in the Summer Term and a further 8 within the Autumn Term).
From August 2024, an initial fixed penalty notice of £80 will be issued to each parent for each child.

Penalty notice fines will now be issued to each parent for each child absent. For the first time offence, this would be £160 per parent per child if paid within 28 days, reduced to £80 per parent per child if paid within 21 days. The second time a penalty notice is issued, this will be £160 per parent, per child straight away. For third offences, fixed penalty fines will not be issued - the case will go straight to a Magistrates' Court and can be a fine of up to £2500 per parent, per child. Cases that are found guilty in Magistrates' Court can show up on parent’s future DBS checks.

School Curriculum - Our Curriculum Vision
To ensure all of our pupils are equipped for successful lifelong learning and achievement.
Teaching enables outstanding progress by ensuring that tasks are differentiated, with challenge in place for More Able, so that pupils are challenged and respond positively, building their curiosity, confidence, resilience and perseverance. Active learning is linked to high outcomes with attainment for Greater Depth Standard above national average across the Unity. Achievement is strong for all groups of pupils across a curriculum which is robust and inspiring for core subjects whilst immersive, engaging and innovative for all foundation subjects, supported with celebration of the successes of each individual pupil.
Our Curriculum Content
Each class page contains downloadable newsletters which will outline what is being delivered for each subject area. We use the White Rose Maths Scheme and Hamilton Trust and Jane Considine for Reading and Writing development. If you have any questions about the curriculum for your child's class, please speak to your child's Class Teacher in the first instance. Please also see each class page for the long-term plan for the curriculum and documents detailing the areas of each subject being covered. You can also download our school vision to see how the curriculum is central to all we do.
The Role of the Curriculum
Our curriculum promotes respect, tolerance and diversity. We are committed to ensuring that our pupils are offered a broad and balanced curriculum that aims to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
Children are encouraged to share their views and recognise that they are entitled to have their own different beliefs which should not be used to influence others. Our RSE (Relationships and Sex Education), Citizenship and SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) provision is embedded across the curriculum, and underpins the ethos of our schools.
Teaching the schools’ core values alongside the fundamental British values supports quality teaching and learning, whilst making a positive contribution to the development of a fair, just and civil society. Children are regularly taught about how to stay safe when using the Internet and are encouraged to recognise that people are not always who they say they are online. They are taught to seek adult help if they are upset or concerned about anything they read or see on the Internet.
