Attendance & Absence Reporting

Good attendance at Kingsbury High School is considered 96% and above. Every day of absence reduces a student’s attendance by 0.5%.

You can check your child’s attendance on:

Edulink One

If your child’s attendance is below 90% they will be considered to be persistently absent. Any further absence will be unauthorised and the Local Authority’s Educational Welfare Officer (EWO) will begin investigations. Further absences at this rate of attendance will not be authorised unless medical evidence is provided from a GP.

We do not authorise holidays during term time. Any holidays taken during term time may result in a fixed penalty notice being issued to you.

If there is a good reason to report your child absent you should email: khsattendance@kingsburyhigh.org.uk or call 020 8206 3000 (option 1) before 08.30am.

Please provide:

• Your child’s name
• Your child’s form group
• The reason for the absence
