Attendance

At Ysgol Bro Taf we believe that good attendance is key to every pupil’s success. Regular attendance ensures that pupils make the most of their learning opportunities, build strong relationships with peers and teachers, and develop the routines and resilience they need for future education and employment. Every day in school matters – even small amounts of missed learning can add up over time and affect progress. By working together to maintain excellent attendance, we can give every child the best possible chance to achieve their potential and thrive both in and beyond school.

Reporting your child absent

You can report your child’s absence quickly and easily using the MCAS app.
It is important to keep the school informed about pupil absence so that we can ensure their safety, support their learning, and maintain accurate attendance records.

Holiday request form

Please complete and return this form within 4 weeks of the start of your requested holiday.

Please do not assume that your holiday request will be authorised – each request will be considered on its own merits. Approval of absence is entirely at the discretion of the school.

The local authority and school strongly advises parents and carers that pupils should not take holidays during term time, due to the negative impact that this can have on their learning.
