Hello,
I just received a letter from school telling me that my 5 year old will be monitored by an Education Welfare Officer given his poor attendance of 87% against the normal 95%.
He's been repeatedly ill this autumn, the policy of the school is to keep your child at home until perfectly well, we've always notified the school, the headteacher keeps saying how he wants to work closely with parents, and now this...
It's bureaucracy gone mad.
I am so angry at the lack of common sense.
The head concludes his letter by saying he wants to communicate and work closely with us. Maybe a little letter beforhand would have been useful?
Anyway, my question is: Do you think I can request the name of the officer to clarify the situation and save time and ressources for everyone involved?
And what are the consequences of being on this register?
