Payments Pay a school attendance fine

Why you got a school attendance fine

You got a fine because we noticed your child / children had unauthorised absence.

We can fine the parent or carer of any pupil who's between the age of 5 and 16 and goes to any primary or secondary school, academy or pupil referral unit in the area covered by Manchester Council.    

Good attendance at school helps your child reach their full potential. If you've any concerns, contact the school -  they can offer support and guidance.
