Good attendance at Preston Manor School is considered 96% and above. Every day of absence reduces a student’s attendance by 0.5%.

You can check your child’s attendance on Go4School.

If your child’s attendance is below 90% they will be considered to be persistently absent. Any further absence will be unauthorised and the Attendance Team and Local Authority’s Educational Welfare Officer (EWO) will begin investigations. Further absences at this rate of attendance will not be authorised unless medical evidence is provided from a GP.

We do not authorise holidays during term time. Any holidays taken during term time may result in a fixed penalty notice being issued to you.

If there is a good reason to report your child absent you should email: attendance@preston-manor.com  or call before 08.30am:

Year 7 - Year 11: 020 8385 4042 (Ext 506)
Sixth Form: 0208 385 4080

Please provide:

• Your child’s first name and last name
• Your child’s form class
• The reason for their absence
