A declaration of a personal interest should indicate the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of a personal interest, the member may speak and vote on the matter. Please note that if you are exempt from declaring a personal interest because it arises solely from your position on a body to which you were nominated by the County Council or a body exercising functions of a public nature (e.g. another local authority), you need only declare your interest if and when you intend to speak on a matter. If a prejudicial interest is declared, the member should withdraw from the room whilst the matter is discussed unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, in which case you may attend the meeting for that purpose. You must immediately leave the room when you have finished or the meeting decides you have finished, if earlier. These declarations apply to all those members present, whether the member is part of the meeting, attending to speak as a local member on an item or simply observing the meeting from the public seating area. 4.

  • Whole School Attendance Policy
    The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools STALHAM CLUSTER ATTENDANCE POLICY This has been put together by the Headteachers of Stalham Infant School, Stalham Academy, Stalham High School, Ludham Primary School, Catfield Primary School, East Ruston Infant School, Happisburgh Primary School, Hickling Infant School and Sutton Infant School. 1. The Stalham Cluster takes a child’s education very seriously and believes that holidays taken during term time have a detrimental effect on a child’s education. We know that attendance is closely linked to attainment. 2. We are committed to providing a full and efficient education to all pupils and embrace the concept of equal opportunities for all. 3. We endeavour to provide an environment where all pupils feel valued and welcome. For a child to reach their full potential, good attendance is essential. We consistently work towards a goal of 100% attendance for all children. Every opportunity is used to convey to children and their parents or carers the importance of regular and punctual attendance. 4. School attendance is a legal requirement and this policy reflects both these laws and the guidance produced by the Department for Education. 5. We will review our system for improving attendance at regular intervals to ensure that it is achieving its goals. Please work with us in ensuring that your child attends school every day and on time. School Procedures Any child who is absent from school must have their absence recorded. Only the head teacher or the person authorised by the head can authorise absence. Registration and Punctuality Registration is a legal requirement and is a positive start to our working day.

    The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools School brochure 2015-16 Welcome to Swallowtail! Hello and welcome. We understand that starting school is a new and exciting, sometimes daunting, experience for your child and, in many cases, for you as parents. We want to make this transition as easy as possible for both you and your child. We hope that this handbook will help to answer some of the questions you may have, as well as showing you where to get the answers to the questions we haven’t dealt with. Each year we admit up to 45 children from our local area into our Federation schools and as you read through our handbook I hope you will get a feel for the high quality of care and education we provide for our children. The children are at the centre of everything we do and our aim is to give them the best opportunities that we possibly can. We see Swallowtail as a community made up of the children, staff and parents. We all have an important contribution to make and we value the support of parents and families. Please get in touch if you have anything to discuss, as the saying goes “our door is always open!” You will soon see that life at Swallowtail Schools is never dull: we are always looking for new and innovative ways to make learning enjoyable and challenging. We do not stand still as we are constantly aiming to improve everything we do.
