Attendance
Attendance at St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary is vital for every child’s learning, wellbeing, and progress. Regular school attendance helps pupils build strong routines, keep up with classroom teaching, and develop the confidence to participate fully in lessons and school life. Our aim is always for the children to enjoy school and look forward to attending.
We ask all parents and carers to support good attendance by ensuring children attend every day the school is open, arriving on time and following our procedures for reporting absence. Where a child is unwell or unable to attend, please contact the school promptly via telephone on 01322663119 or email at office@st-bartholomewsrc-pri.kent.sch.uk and provide the reason for absence so we can record it accurately and offer support if needed.
If you have concerns about attendance, punctuality, or barriers that may be affecting your child, please speak with us as early as possible. Our staff are here to work with families in a supportive way helping to identify solutions and encourage consistent attendance for the benefit of your child’s education.
Our Attendance Officer is Mrs D Teather
