Attendance
As a school, we have a clear attendance policy which is based on the expectations set out by the Department for Education and Penk Valley Academy Trust. We politely ask that you take a moment to read the PVAT attendance policy, so you are clear of our expectations around punctuality and attendance.
We believe that our whole school culture of high attendance is underpinned by clear expectations, procedures, and responsibilities. We work closely with families, VIP Education and Staffordshire Country Council to ensure that our attendance policy is understood and followed by all.
