My role is to assist both parents and fellow staff members wherever possible in ensuring all children have the opportunity to attend Leighton regularly and punctually (As per Local Authority guidelines).

I fully understand that my role is often frowned upon by parents but please be assured I am only acting in the best interests of all the children, as it has been proven time and time again that attendance plays a major role in the success of a child’s education, also arriving at school punctual, in a timely routine everyday has an obvious advantage to the start of your child’s school day.

I will greet you at the door if your child arrives late, and I will telephone you or knock on your door if your child is not in school and you haven’t notified me why or we have any cause for concern. On occasions it may appear that I am asking awkward questions when you least want it, but please remember why I am doing those things, it's because we care.
