September 2023: We aim to keep our level of absences as low as possible and last year we achieved 96.4% attendance. This is better than the national average of 93.5 %. All the primary schools in the North Cotswold have a joint attendance policy and we have decided that we will never authorise holidays during term time except under exceptional circumstances. Of our 3.6% absences last year we authorised 2.8 % and did not authorise 0.8%.
