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
