Attendance & Absence
Attendance Mission
At Brookdale, we believe good attendance, is vital for children to achieve their full potential.
We aim to promote good attendance by providing a safe, happy and engaging environment for all children and their families.
Working with families, we aim to provide the best available support to remove any barriers a child or family may have to accessing their education.
Every child matters, every day matters.

Please note that Wirral LA state: If in an individual case the local authority (or other authorised officer) believes a penalty notice would be appropriate, they retain the discretion to issue one before the threshold is met. This might apply for example, where parents are deliberately avoiding the national threshold by taking several term time holidays below threshold, or for repeated absence for birthdays or other family events.
