Information for parents

School app

Your best source of information by far is the new (in 2024) Low Furness App. Calendar, news feed, letters and announcements all gathered in one place and definitely up to date. Sign in with your personal code and you also get class-specific announcements and notifications.

Attendance

The law on attendance is very strict and we are supervised by the Local Authority’s Attendance Officer. Absence during term time can only be authorised in a few ‘exceptional circumstances’ set by the Government. Parents who fail to ensure regular attendance can be issued with Fixed Penalty Notices. For more detail please see these attachments:
