Student Attendance

Every Day Matters

Regular attendance has countless benefits for your child’s learning and development. Parents play an important role in ensuring students get to school and stay in school every day

What you can do

Building positive attendance habits

You can help build positive attendance habits by: 

• helping your child learn the importance of punctuality and routine
• making sure your child arrives on time from the start of the school day, ready to take part 
• reducing disruption to learning where you can, by planning any necessary appointments outside of school time 
• contacting your school to explain any absences (within 7 days of the first day of any absence) 
• making sure any holidays or medical appointments are taken outside school hours
• working with the school to encourage and support regular attendance.
