Attendance and Penalty Notices

From autumn term 2024, only 2 penalty notices will be issued to the same parent in respect of the same child within a 3 year rolling period and any second notice within that period is charged at a higher rate.

1.  The first penalty notice issued to a parent in respect of a particular pupil will be charged at £160 if paid within 28 days. This will be reduced to £80 if paid within 21 days.
2. A second penalty notice issued to the same parent in respect of the same pupil is charged at a flat rate of £160 if paid within 28 days.
3. A third penalty notice cannot be issued to the same parent in respect of the same child within 3 years of the date of issue of the first. In a case where the national threshold is met for a third time (or subsequent times) within those 3 years, alternative action will be taken instead, which will often include considering prosecution.

Please note that penalty notices are issued per parent/carer, per child. Therefore a family of two parents and two children will receive 4 penalty notices.
