Attendance

Why Every Day at School Matters

Coming to school every day makes a real difference to children’s learning, confidence, and sense of belonging. Each school day builds on the one before it, and when students are absent, they can miss important learning, routines, and social connections that are hard to fully catch up on later.

Regular attendance helps children develop positive learning habits, stronger friendships, and resilience. It also supports their wellbeing by keeping them connected to trusted adults and peers in a safe, predictable environment.

We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or family circumstances. However, when children attend school consistently, they are better placed to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Working together, we can help every child make the most of each school day.
