Our aim is for all pupils to attend as often as possible so they can fully access learning, make progress, and develop the skills they need for adulthood. We understand that some of our pupils have complex needs or medical conditions, and we are committed to working flexibly with families to ensure children can continue their education, whether in school or through alternative provision when needed. Our whole school community plays a role in promoting attendance. We work closely with families to offer early support where attendance becomes a concern, and we take a supportive, partnership-based approach to help pupils attend regularly and confidently. ## Attendance leads Mr Blundell (Senior Assistant Headteacher) and Mrs Beaghan (Pastoral Manager) are available to support parents and carers with any attendance concerns. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel you need any support with your child's attendance. ## We expect parents and carers to: - Ensure their child attends school every day where possible. - Notify school of any absence using Studybugs on the first day. - Work with us to address any attendance concerns Good attendance supports not only your child’s learning but also their wellbeing, friendships and sense of belonging. Together, we can ensure every pupil gets the most from their time at Applebee Wood. Please refer to the attendance policy within our Policies and Documents page for further detail regarding attendance. ### Parents - [Parent Pay](https://applebeewood.co.uk/parent-pay) - [Staying Safe Online](https://applebeewood.co.uk/staying-safe-online) - [Working in Partnership with Parents ](https://applebeewood.co.uk/lppa-leading-parent-partnership-award) - [Lunch Menus](https://applebeewood.co.uk/lunch-menus) - [Attendance](https://applebeewood.co.uk/attendance) - [School Uniform](https://applebeewood.co.uk/school-uniform) - [Prevent Strategy](https://applebeewood.co.uk/prevent-strategy) ![Applebee Wood School](https://files.schudio.com/applebee-wood-school/images/logo/Untitled_design(5).png) ### Applebee Wood School Far Croft Lostock Hall Preston PR5 5SS 01772 336976 ### Policies - [Website Policy](https://applebeewood.co.uk/website-policy) - [Accessibility Statement](https://applebeewood.co.uk/accessibility-statement) ### Translation [![The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)](https://files.schudio.com/applebee-wood-school/images/logo/SVT_logo_-_white_lettering(1).png)](https://theseaviewtrust.co.uk) © Copyright 2025–2026 Applebee Wood School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://applebeewood.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
