Attendance

Eldersfield Lawn place high priority on the importance of children attending school.  

Please see the document below for national guidance about how we work with parents to achieve this.  

During Spring 2023, the school achieved an attendance award from the FFT to acknowledge high attendance placing us in the top 25% of all similar schools nationally.

You can help to slow the spread of Coronavirus!

• Make sure you and your children follow these general principles to prevent spreading any respiratory virus:
• Wash your hands often – with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or an alcohol-based sanitiser if soap and water aren’t available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• If you feel unwell, stay at home and don’t attend work or school.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home.
