Attendance Information for Parents/Carers

Ensuring all pupils who are able attend school remains a priority for the school and Midlothian Council.  We know that dealing with a child who struggles to attend can be very challenging for parents and carers.  The following resources have been produced by Parent Club Scotland to support parents in this situation.
