- Attendance & Punctuality
Outstanding attendance and punctuality is an expectation of all of our ‘Park View Learners’
Please click on the following link to see a letter from Haringey education welfare service on the importance of attendance:
FIXED PENALTY NOTICE FOR PARENTSNationally, poor attendance to school is one of the main causes of a lack of student progress and under-achievement.
At Park View, outstanding attendance and punctuality are celebrated on a weekly and termly basis. The school, our parents and the students themselves all have an important role to play in ensuring attendance and punctuality remain high.
If your child is absent from school for any reason please call: 0208 8881722 to register their absence. Or the Attendance and EWO Officer on 020 8826 9188 or email attendance@parkview.haringey.sch.uk
Students are encouraged to monitor their own attendance and know what colour coded band they belong to. All students should aim to be in our green and blue bands.
We will inform if your child moves from one band to another.
If your child is absent and the school hasn’t been notified you will be sent a text message or email. You may be called by someone in the pastoral team, or our Attendance Officer.
Student Absence
Park View reserves the right not to authorise absence where there is no evidence of a suitable reason for your child to be missing school.
Please note that students who are in our red band will be required to provide medical evidence for absences of any length. Absences for other reason may not be authorised.
