Attendance Information for Parents

Punctual and regular school attendance is an essential requirement for successful learning and well-being from the time a child starts school. Loss of learning is likely to have a detrimental effect on your child’s achievement and well-being.

0 days of school                                            = 100%    (Perfection)

Equates to 2 days off school each year   = 99%      (Excellent)

Equates to 5 days off school each year   = 97%      (Good)

Equates to 10 days off school each year = 95%      (Slight Concern)

Equates to 20 days off school each year = 90%      (Concerned)

Equates to 30 days off school each year =  85%     (Very Concerned)

Please make sure you don’t book holidays in term time. Research shows that there is a link between a child’s regular attendance at school and how well they perform academically.

 

Punctuality is equally important
