--- title: "Attendance" url: "https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/attendance" school: "Moorside Primary Academy" --- # Attendance **Attendance** At Moorside Primary Academy, attendance is monitored closely throughout the Key Stages. Regular attendance, even in Foundation stage, helps ensure that your child can reach their full potential. If for any reason, your child is going to be absent, please ring school on the first day of absence to inform us of the reason and when your child will be returning to school. On your child’s return to school, please send a note explaining your child’s absence. This will avoid unnecessary visits from the our attendance team. If you have any concerns about your child’s attendance, please speak with Miss Lewis, Mrs Ballinger or Miss Buttigieg. **Holidays in term time** School cannot authorise any holidays in term time. Our Multi Academy Trust has directed us in this tightening of the rules to further promote good school attendance in line with the challenge from OFSTED that all schools face. All holidays taken during school time will be recorded as unauthorised leave and may result in parents facing a fine from Tameside M.B.C. **EWO services** If you require any information about Educational Welfare, please contact: Miss Lewis - 0161 370 3614 admin@moorside-primary.org ### Parents - [School Opening Hours](https://www.moorside-primary.net/school-opening-hours) - [Attendance](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/attendance) - [School Meals](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/school-meals) - [School Uniform Policy](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/school-uniform-policy) - [British Values](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/british-values) - [Acceptable Behaviour Policy](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/acceptable-behaviour-policy) - [Internet Safety](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/internet-safety) - [Parents Voice](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/parents-voice) - [Parent Links](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/parent-links) - [Talking Together](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/talking-together) - [Privacy Notice](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/privacy-notice) - [Talking to Children about Acts of Terrorism – Advice for Parents](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/acts-of-terrorism-advice-for-parents) - [Emotional Wellbeing.](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/emotional-wellbeing) - [Early Years](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/early-years) ![Moorside Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/moorside-primary-academy-2/images/logo/logo-app.png) ### Moorside Primary Academy Market Street Droylsden M43 7DA 0161 370 3614 ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/MoorsidePA) - [Youtube](https://youtu.be/YmDLrnzvoaE) © Copyright 2026 Moorside Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.moorside-primary.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
