Attendance

Attendance at school is really important, clearly if you not here then you will miss out on your lessons, and if you do not catch up you will have gaps in your knowledge. Having said that if you are ill you need to stay at home, get rest and seek medical advice if necessary. The key to positive attendance is resilience. We all feel under the weather at times, or a bit ‘flat’, you have to be able to tell the difference between feeling like this and being genuinely poorly.

The graphic to the left shows the impact of absence, and the Academy target is 97%. Last year we had 57 students who achieved 100% attendance throughout the year and 335 who were over 97%. And 88.9% of our students were over 90%.
