REWARDS

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Hillside, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.

Follow NHS advice for any mild illnesses. 

Promote good hand hygiene with your children. 

Liaise with the Early Help team who will support you as a family. 

Speak to your child’s teacher as a collaborative approach is essential


 Noticeboard
