REWARDS

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Hillside, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.

"Congratulations to Year 1 for the highest attendance this week!"

From all the staff at Hillside

How can I improve my children’s attendance? 

 

Follow NHS advice for any mild illnesses. 

Promote good hand hygiene with your children. 

Liaise with the Early Help team who will support you as a family. 

Speak to your child’s teacher as a collaborative approach is essential


 Noticeboard

If your child is absent from school, you must inform the school office by 9am of the reason for absence.

Staff car park is NOT to be used to drop children off at Breakfast Club. This is a health and safety hazard.

The school office now opens at 8:20am and closes at 3:45pm.
