Working with our families

At Lemington Riverside we understand that there is always reason behind declining school attendance and, when this happens, we want to work with our families to find solutions and improve your child's attendance. 

We have two dedicated attendance and welfare officers, Kim Cole and Emma McCartney, who are here to help families to overcome any barriers that may be impacting on your child's attendance. 

We constantly monitor every child's attendance at Lemington Riverside - if we become concerned that your child's attendance appears to be declining we will get in touch to discuss the reasons for this and how we might help you to get your child's attendance back on track.

NEWCASTLE CITY COUNCIL PROCEDURES

We work closely with our local authority, Newcastle City Council, on attendance and have an allocated Local Authority Access & Inclusion Officer, Gary Munday. 

The document below details the Newcastle City Council attendances procedures that are in place across schools in our city:
