Attendance
Good attendance leads to achievement at school. At Hill View, we want all children to have a positive experience of school life and be able to reach their full potential. One way parents can help their child to do this is by ensuring they attend school every day.
Our attendance policy, a simple guide to promoting good school attendance and a document to read before requesting term time authorised absences are all attached below.
HV application for leave in term time
The Headteacher has the discretion to decide whether absence can be authorised and whether a holiday in term time can be authorised or not. In the event of a parent putting in an application for their child to be removed for a holiday in term time, many factors will be considered including the following:
- The age of the child and the time and duration of the requested leave.
- The child’s current level of attendance.
- The child’s ability.
- Whether leave has been requested during, or close to, examination times or SATs.
Behaviour, Bullying & Exclusions
Hill View Primary Academy is part of Reach South Academy Trust (RSAT).
RSAT has produced an overarching behaviour Policy and guide to Relational Principles of which our approach at Hill View is detailed at Appendix 1 and in the other appendices.
The full behaviour and relational principles policy is below and we are working on a Behaviour page that makes access to the key parts of the policy easier for parents and carers.
