For any child to maximise their potential it is extremely important that they attend every day as the learning in one lesson will provide the basis for the next. It is understood that from time to time a child will be too unwell to attend and we ask parents to contact St. Bede’s via the 24 hour attendance line on 0117 377 2228 and leave a message giving the pupil's name, tutor group and expected return date.

You can help improve your child’s overall attendance at St Bede’s by 

• Making appointments for the doctor, dentist etc. outside of school hours wherever possible 
• Avoid taking holidays during term time
