Attendance

At ACE Tiverton, we actively promote and encourage good attendance by students and staff at school. We keep parents informed about the percentage levels of attendance, celebrating improvements, great attendance and where attendance may fall below the minimum expected level of 95%. We celebrate student attendance, looking at the progress made each term on an individual basis. Our attendance lead, Mrs Stacy Fagg, works closely with the local authority's Attendance Improvement Officer; they monitor attendance figures and meet termly to discuss any emerging patterns or concerns.

The school day begins at 8.00am with registration. All students should be in school ready to be registered at this time. If your child is unwell, please contact the school office on 01884 763140 by 8.20am. If no contact has been made regarding a child’s absence, administrative staff will attempt to contact parents or carers to understand the reason for non-attendance.

We will regularly send home a letter regarding attendance for students. If your child’s attendance falls below 90%, a referral will be made to the Attendance Improvement Officer. In line with government requirements, holidays will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Please note that this does not include financial reasons or visiting relatives. Please refer to the S2 Absence Request Form below for guidance.
