Absence and Lateness
Good attendance and punctuality are rewarded and encouraged at Lilian Baylis. We recognise achievement in this area by awarding monthly certificates and yearly cups. In addition ‘Reward Points’ are awarded every week to students who have 100% attendance and punctuality.
It is parents’ legal responsibility to ensure that their child attends regularly and on time. Parents must contact the school immediately if their child is absent from school. Parents will be contacted by an agency, on behalf of the school, on a daily basis if their child fails to arrive at school and there is no known reason for their absence. Lambeth Council and Lilian Baylis Technology School work together to ensure all students attend every day on time. In the past year a number of parents have had court orders and fines issued for failing in their legal duty to ensure their child attends every day on time.
Holidays in term time are extremely disruptive to a student’s education and can only be taken in exceptional circumstances and with the Headteacher’s written permission.
Attendance
The proper place for students to be on a school day is in school.
A good record of attendance:
- Helps students to be successful in school
- Shows a sense of responsibility in students
- Is a good habit to develop
- Brings rewards in school
- Is reported in references for further education
If your child is not in school, s/he must have a good reason:
- The parent or guardian should phone the Attendance Officer (Nana Boakye or Grace Spencer) on 020 7091 9501 before 8.00 am on the first day of absence
- When your son or daughter returns to school, s/he should bring a note to explain their absence; s/he should give this note to Nana Boakye, Attendance Officer.
- The school uses an agency who will telephone you on our behalf if your child is absent.
- Whenever possible, holidays or any appointments should not be made in school time.
- We will always write to you if the school is closed for a teacher training day.
