Spring Term @ Lionel Walden

Establishing good attendance patterns from an early age can help children later on in life. Evidence suggests that pupils who attend school more regularly achieve better outcomes in their GCSEs than those with poor attendance. 

In addition to missing academic work, children will also miss out on the social side of school life. This, especially in the first few years of education, can affect children’s ability to make and maintain friendships.

Arriving at school on time is vital. Arriving late at school can be disruptive for your child, the teacher and other children in the class. Arriving after the register closes results in an unauthorised absence being recorded for that session.

Please work with us to ensure that we get the best start to your child's education and that excellent attendance is maintained.
