Attendance Rationale

As a school, we have the expectation that children attend school regularly and should achieve at least 95% attendance across the year.

Every day at school matters to your child's education, academic success and future life chances. The law says that parents are legally responsible for making sure their children attend school regularly. Research has shown that poor attendance is linked to lower exam grades. Children who attend school regularly also have better social skills and stronger friendship groups.

Key Information

We hope that you find the information below useful. If you have any queries or worries about your child's attendance then please contact, Mr Smith (Assistant Headteacher) or Mrs Holman (Safeguard Officer and Family liaison) who will be happy to advise you.
