At King's Academy Northern Parade, we are committed to providing the best possible education for every child, and regular school attendance plays a key role in achieving this. Research consistently shows that children who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed academically, build lasting friendships, and develop essential life skills. In fact, children who miss just 10% of school days each year are at risk of falling behind in their learning, which can affect their long-term academic progress.

We understand that there are times when children may need to stay home due to illness or other valid reasons. However, we encourage all families to prioritise school attendance wherever possible and to inform us promptly if your child is unable to attend due to illness.

Remember, every school day counts. If your child is well enough to attend, we strongly encourage them to be in school. It’s not just about the lessons missed—every day spent at school contributes to a child’s overall development and understanding of the world around them.

Thank you for your ongoing support in ensuring that your child has the best opportunity to succeed at school. If you have any concerns about attendance or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
