Attendance and Absences

“Every Day in School Matters”

At William Hulme’s Grammar School, we believe that regular school attendance and punctuality is key to enabling young people to reach their full potential both academically, socially and emotionally.



How was Attendance affected during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic? So, What Are the Rules Now? Will I be penalised for not sending my child to school due to Coronavirus related issues? But what if my child has symptoms or confirmed Coronavirus? Should I tell you if my child has a positive test? What if someone in my child’s household has symptoms or confirmed Coronavirus? What if someone in close contact to my child has symptoms or confirmed Coronavirus? What if my child has to self-isolate as part of a period of quarantine? What if my child or a member of my household is in poor health and needs to shield? My child is clinically extremely vulnerable - what will happen in a future local lockdown? Can my child still get school work while they are off?
