Good school attendance is imperative if pupils are to make the progress which they have the potential for.  At Hart Memorial, attendance is monitored by our Vice-Principal, Mrs White, in collaboration with the Education Welfare Service.  
If your child is off, you MUST provide us with a reason why - as a school, we have a duty to know reasons for absence and monitor these.  
Your pupil must only be off for a valid reason - sickness, appointment, something agreed with Principal/ Vice-Principal etc. 
When monitoring attendance, the following flowcharts come into play.  Please read them carefully to understand your role alongside the role of school staff.

Thank you.    

✨ A Wonderful Moment for Our School Community! ✨

Yesterday, we were delighted to present a cheque for £195 to our Charity of the Year – Children’s Kidney Fund NI. This fantastic total was raised during our Christmas Party/Disco Day, and we couldn’t be more thankful! 🎄💃🕺

Our School Council chose this charity because of its special significance within our school community. In the past year, one of our own pupils benefited from a successful kidney transplant, making this cause especially meaningful and close to our hearts. ❤️

We have pledged to continue supporting Children’s Kidney Fund NI throughout the year, and we look forward to making an even greater impact together.

Thank you to everyone who contributed — your kindness truly makes a difference! 🌟🙌

From January, the cost of school meals is increasing.  The Education Authority have set the increase to try and combat their shortfall in funding.  
The new costs will be as follows:

Nursery - £3.00 per day - £15 per week
Primary - £3.10 per day - £15.50 per week

School Money should be updated to reflect these increases.
