Parents & Students
Parents & Students
At MIAG we believe that the partnership between home and school is a vital part of the success of our students and we strive to share information, advice and guidance to support parents to enable students to achieve their full potential, both at home and at school.
Attendance
At MIAG we recognise the importance of excellent school attendance and punctuality to ensure the very best of outcomes for our students. Excellent attendance helps students to participate fully in the life of the school and more widely, in the local community.
This means students will have optimum life chances enabling them to enter adulthood successfully . For more details of our Attendance Policy please click the link below:
