Dorchester, St Birinus CE Primary School is committed to providing a full and effective education to all pupils and embraces the concept of equal opportunities for all.

The School will endeavour to provide an environment where all pupils feel valued and welcome.

For a child to reach their full educational achievement, a high level of school attendance is essential. We will consistently work towards a goal of 100% attendance for all children. Every opportunity will be used to convey to pupils and their parents or carers the importance of regular and punctual attendance including e.g. newsletters and reports to parents.

School attendance is subject to various Education laws and the Dorchester, St. Birinus CE Primary School’s attendance policy is written to reflect these laws and the guidance produced by the Department for Education

Morning registration will take place at the start of school at 8.50 am. The registers will remain open for 30 minutes.
