At Leigh Academy Langley Park, excellent attendance and punctuality is our aim for each and every pupil. Learning opportunities are maximised when good attendance is achieved and you, as parents and carers, play a vital role in promoting a good attitude towards attendance and punctuality. We therefore ask for your support in ensuring that your child is present at every opportunity and arrives at school on time. There is a high correlation between good attendance and successful academic achievement; regular and punctual school attendance helps a child to develop responsibility, self-discipline and fosters the skills necessary for the future.
School starts promptly at 08:55. Please ensure that your child arrives to school on time and is in class and ready to learn.
If your child is absent, you have a duty to inform the school office on 01622 250880 by 09:15 each and every day that they are absent. If the school does not hear from you, office staff will attempt to contact you for a reason.
Please be aware that if your child is absent from school and no reason can be established for their absence then this will be recorded as unauthorised until such a time that your child returns to school. Please provide absence information to school office staff and not to class teachers, as they do not have time to share this with office staff before the school day begins.
If you call the school office and staff are unable to answer the phone at the time of your call then you should leave a message providing your child's full name, their class and the reason for their absence.

Updated on 16th May, The Education Hub features a discussion around concerns that both poor mental health and school absence are impacting the education of children and, in turn, their futures. There is lots of information and useful links within the blog that may be of interest so please do check it out here.
In support of current concerns around young people's mental health, there are also some top tips for good mental health an wellbeing that may be of use for children, parents and carers.
We continue to see a large number of children absent from school due to common illnesses and ailments that do not require them to stay at home, especially in Reception and KS1. If you're unsure whether or not your child can come to school, please do call us for a chat or check out Langley Park's handy attendance booklet which explains when your child can and cannot attend school:
As we reach the end of the Term 5, we have issued the following certificates:
39 x '100%' certificates
167 x 'Excellent Attendance' certificates
10 x 'Improved Attendance' certificates
Attendance certificates were handed out in class unobtrusively and, if your child received one of these certificates, they should feel very proud of their achievement.
Well done to all children who received an attendance certificate this term!
