🎓 Why Going to School Every Day Matters
It is very important for your child to go to school every day. This helps them learn well and have a better future.
👪 Your Responsibility as a Parent:
In the UK, parents and carers must make sure their child goes to school. This is the law.
🚫 If your child misses school without a good reason:
- The school and Leeds City Council will contact you
- They will talk with you to find a way to improve attendance
⚠️ If things don’t get better, the council might:
- Give you a fine (money penalty)
- Or take you to court
🤒 If Your Child Needs to Miss School, Children sometimes can’t go to school if they are:
- 🤧 Sick
- 🏥 Have a long-term medical issue
📞 You must call the school on the same day to explain why your child is not there.
✈️ Taking Your Child Out of School (During Term Time)
If you want to:
- Travel abroad
- Or take your child out of school for any reason during term time
📋 You must ask the head teacher for permission first.
⚠️ If you take your child out without permission, you may get a fine.
