Attendance Information

Philosophy
Unity College is committed to providing a full and efficient educational experience to all pupils.  We believe that if pupils are to benefit from education, punctuality and good attendance is crucial.  As a school, we will organise and do all we can to ensure maximum attendance for all pupils.  Any problems that impede punctuality and regular attendance will be identified and addressed as speedily as possible.

It is the policy of our school to celebrate achievement.  Attendance is a critical factor to a productive and successful school career.  Unity College will actively promote and encourage 100 per cent attendance for all our pupils.

Unity College will give a high priority to conveying to pupils and parents the importance of regular and punctual attendance.  We recognise that parents/carers have a vital role to play and there is a need to establish home-school links and communication systems that can be utilised whenever there is concern about attendance.

If there are problems that affect a pupil’s attendance we will investigate, identify and strive in partnership with parents and pupils to resolve these problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.  We will adopt a clearly, focussed, approach aimed at returning the pupil to full attendance at all times.
