We’d like to remind families about the importance of regular attendance and being on time to school. Arriving on time helps students start the day calmly, stay engaged, and not miss important instructions. It also teaches responsibility and good habits. Frequent absences, even just a few days each month, can affect a student’s progress and confidence. We understand that illness and emergencies happen, but we ask that appointments and travel be scheduled outside school hours whenever possible. Please remember: Gates open at 8:20am. Arriving late can disrupt learning.
Email attendance@egas.islington@sch.uk or log on Arbor if your child will be absent, ideally before 9am.
For extended absences please complete a term time application (link: https://www.egaschool.co.uk/1525/application-for-leaveof-absence-in-term-time)
Thank you for your support in making punctuality and attendance a priority. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
