Our aim at Five Lanes Primary is for every child to achieve their full potential and as such, attendance is a high priority.

If your child is absent from school for any reason, it is vital that you contact us via phone (01132790122 ext. 1) or at  info@fivelanesprimary.co.uk.

All absences are monitored by our school Attendance Officer Mrs Robinson alongside Miss Gibson our Attendance Assistant and Mrs Mercer our Headteacher.

In line with our Safeguarding Policy, if your child is not in school you will be contacted by a member of the team. If contact cannot be made, a home visit may be carried out.

• Holidays in term time will not be authorised. Only absences under exceptional circumstances will be authorised.
• If you wish to take a family holiday or extended leave in term time or you need to take your child out of school for any reason, you must complete an absence form. These are available from the school office.  
• If you are planning a holiday or travelling out of the country, you must also provide proof of travel and booking.
• We will follow the Leeds City Council guidelines when monitoring all absences.
