Attendance
Our vision for attendance
At Fynamore Primary School, we believe that good attendance supports our school vision of ‘Together we are amazing.’ Fynamore strives to provide a welcoming, nurturing environment, where every member of the school community is treated with care and positivity. We strongly feel that good attendance and punctuality is vital in ensuring that our children should never be held back from achieving great things.
Our aspirational school attendance target for all pupils is 96% which means that pupils must be absent for less than 8 days throughout the school year.

Reporting a student absence
On each day your child is unfit to come to school, please report this absence using the Absence Form on our website home page, telephone the school office on 01249 810090 or text the school mobile on 07537 438427 starting the message with FYN. When contacting school about an absence, you must leave your child’s full name, class and and give the specific reason for absence.
There may be exceptional circumstances where you need to request a leave of absence for your child. Please use our ‘Leave of absence request’ form to make these types of requests. The form should be submitted as soon as possible in advance of the leave of absence. You will receive a letter in response, to advise if the request has been declined or consent to take a leave of absence in exceptional circumstances from the Headteacher.
