SCHOOL ATTENDANCE 

As we head into the final few weeks of the school year, it’s a good time to remember how important regular school attendance is for your child’s learning, social skills and development.

We know that this time of year can be busy for families and sometimes routines can be disrupted. However, helping your child stick to regular bedtimes and daily routines can really support their energy, focus and confidence at school.

If your child is finding it hard to come to school or if you have any concerns about school refusal or attendance, please don’t hesitate to speak with your child’s teacher. We’re here to help and work together with you to support your child’s wellbeing.

Going to school every day is an important part of your child’s education. Children and young people learn new things at school every day, connect with friends, have fun and develop good habits that help them to succeed. Attending and participating in school will help your child:

• develop important skills and knowledge to help them learn
• develop social and emotional skills such as good communication, resilience and team work
• establish friendships with peers which help develop self esteem and a sense of belonging.
