Attendance

We have noticed a significant increase in children arriving late for school and a drop in overall attendance.

Good attendance is vital to supporting both your child’s academic progress and their wellbeing. Children who are regularly absent often experience difficulties with school work and have difficulty making and keeping reliable friends.

An attendance of 90% means your child is missing one day off school every fortnight. This is 4 or 5 lessons every fortnight. An attendance of 80% means your child is missing one day off every week, this is 4 or 5 lessons every week. Children who do not attend school regularly are receiving the message that school is not important. This will impact how they view education and learning when they are older. 

Please ensure that whenever possible, your children arrive at school before 8:50am and come to school on every day that it is possible for them to do so. This will support their enjoyment of school and their progress and attainment.
