What does the law say?
Manchester guidance can be found below.
If your child is between 5 and 16 years of age and is a registered pupil at a school, it is the legal responsibility of the parent/carer to make sure that child/ren attend regularly and on time.
Parents have a legal duty to make sure that their children are properly educated. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their children attend school regularly and arrive on time. If you allow your child to be absent from school without good reason, the school will not authorise the absence, you will be committing an offence, and you could be issued with a penalty notice or prosecuted.
