Attendance

By law, all children of compulsory school age (between five and 16) must get a suitable, full-time education.

As a parent/carer, you are responsible for making sure this happens, either by registering your child at a school or by making other arrangements which provide a suitable education. Once your child is registered at a school you are responsible for making sure he or she attends regularly.

Shropshire Council are responsible for making sure that parents fulfil their responsibilities.
