At Cheadle Catholic Junior School we believe that all children and young people have a right to an education as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and in UK Law. The opportunities provided by education are fundamental to enabling all children and young people to reach their potential and lead happy and rewarding lives.
Evidence shows that there are clear links between good attendance and high achievement in school. Pupils who attend school regularly are more likely to feel settled in school, maintain friendships, make progress and gain the greatest benefit from their education. We will work with families to ensure pupils engage in education and maximise their full potential.

At Cheadle Catholic Junior School, we recognise that good school attendance can only be achieved if it is viewed as a shared responsibility of all school staff, the governing body, parents, pupils, the local authority and the wider school community.

If your child is going to be absent you must contact the school office, either by leaving a voicemail or by emailing our dedicated absence email address, by 8:45am on the first day of absence and then every day until they are back in school.
