School attendance

Guidance for school attendance. Responsibilities and actions.

Right of appeal

There is no right of appeal once you get a fine. A fine can only be withdrawn if: 

  • It should not have been given
  • It has been given to the wrong person 
  • If it appears to the local authority that it contains material errors 

If you get a fine and one of the above circumstances applies, contact North Tyneside Council.

If you want further advice and support about attendance issues contact your child’s school or academy.
