Attendance Matters

Did you know...

Being away from school for one day a fortnight equals your child missing 1.5 years over 13 years of school!   

Missing "just one day" a week adds up to 3 years of lost learning!

• Not only does your child miss learning, but we miss your child when they are away!
• Remember that every day counts
• There is no safe number of days for missing school. Missing school means your child misses social and learning opportunities.

How can you help?

• You can help your child by talking positively about school and the importance of attending every day
• Try not to make non urgent appointments during the school day, or planning family holidays during the term
