Oak Wood School expects full attendance and good punctuality from all students. Attendance at school is a legal requirement and without it we believe students cannot progress satisfactorily. Where necessary, the school will work with parents and support agencies to achieve the best possible attendance from all its students. In return the students will be able to enjoy the benefits offered by the school. Good attendance and punctuality is also a life skill. We recognise that full attendance at school is important to the well-being of all our students and enables them to access the opportunities made available to them. Attendance is monitored and we work closely with ACE (Attendance, Compliance and Enforcement Service) when the patterns of absence or punctuality are of concern.
