At Leigh Stationers’ Academy, we are committed to building a community where no student is left behind. We believe that excellent attendance underpins academic achievement, personal development, and a strong sense of belonging. Our attendance policy supports our mission to develop principled, knowledgeable, and ambitious learners by ensuring every student has consistent access to high-quality education.

Guidance on Absence
To support your child’s attendance, please follow the guidance below:
- Notify us daily if your child is absent due to illness.
- Provide evidence where appropriate, such as appointment cards, prescriptions, or medical notes.
- Arrange appointments (e.g. dentist, GP, hospital) outside of school hours whenever possible.
- Do not keep your child home for non-essential reasons, such as birthdays, holidays, family visits, shopping trips, or parental illness.
