Attendance

We expect all our students to achieve excellent attendance at HLC in order to make good progress and access all the opportunities we have to offer.  The expectation is for a student to have at least 95% attendance.

If for any reason your child is ill and unable to attend school, please notify the school office as soon as possible on the morning of the absence on 01952 387000 (Secondary) press option 1, or 01952 387192 and 387088 (Primary).  The telephones are operated from 8.15 am until 4.15 pm.

We may contact parents during the morning session if we have not received any communication from home.

We do not authorise holidays in term-time following Telford and Wrekin procedures on absences from school.

There is a full-time Attendance Officer on the staff of HLC (Mrs Sharon Cloughley) and also an Education Welfare Officer based in the Children’s Centre.  Any queries or information regarding attendance can be dealt with by them or by your child’s Student Support Manager.
