At Hollingworth Academy, we are driven by an unwavering commitment to making school attendance a top priority, fully integrated with every aspect of school improvement. 

We are proudly recognised as an Inclusive Attendance school. Our commitment to attendance centres around child-centric actions, evidence-informed practices, and a shared understanding of everyone's roles and collective responsibilities to promote exceptional attendance.

If your child is absent from school, parents must: ‘Call school to report their child’s absence before 8.40am on the day of the absence and each subsequent day of the absence and advise when they are expected to return’.

To report a student absence please contact the academy on 01706 292800 and select option 1,
Thank you.

At Hollingworth Academy, we believe that attendance is everyone's responsibility. Regular attendance is fundamental to academic success, personal development and positive wellbeing. Through our multi-tiered system of support, we work proactively with students, families and external partners to remove barriers, promote engagement and ensure that every young person has the opportunity to thrive. This graduated approach enables us to provide the right level of support at the right time, helping all students to attend regularly, achieve their potential and feel a valued part of the school community.

The Importance of School Attendance

School attendance is not merely a requirement but a fundamental pillar of education. It plays a pivotal role in shaping academic success, personal growth and future prospects.
