Please email me with any further questions about St. Martha or speak to me at the end of the day once all children have been collected. This is so I can give you my full attention.

I'd be glad to help you!

Now that your child is in Upper Key Stage 2, please encourage them to take responsibility for their behaviour and learning and help them understand these are fundamental to their future at secondary school and beyond.

Attendance & punctuality

The school is committed to ensuring a high rate of attendance for all. We want all of our children to have a 97% attendance rate over each school year. We ask all parents to inform the school before 9.30am on the first day of absence and to send a letter to the class teacher on the day their child returns from absence. The school will phone/contact parents on the first day of absence if the parent has not contacted the school. If contact cannot be made with the parent then the child's absence will be marked as unauthorised. Ten sessions ( 5 days ) of unauthorised absences can lead to the local authority issuing fines. The fine will be £120 per parent per child, but if paid before 21 days, it is reduced to £60 per child, per parent. This money goes to Medway council not the school. Repeated or unexplained absences will be followed up with more phone calls, letters home, requests for medical certificates and a home visit from the School Family Support Worker - so it is important to keep the school informed. All contact with families regarding pupil absence is logged systematically to show the lengths the school are going to, to get the children into school. Children are asked to be punctual.  The registers will be taken at 8.55am for juniors. Lateness and absence will be noted on the child’s Annual School Report. 100% attendance is rewarded regularly at the end of every term and year.
