Please remember that any student absence needs to be reported on a daily basis by telephoning the office on 0208 698 5768 before 10am. You must also remember to send in a letter with the student on their first day back explaining the reason for their absence.

To promote good attendance at Downderry, the children receive weekly, termly and annual awards for good punctuality and attendance.
