Attendance at school is a legal requirement and research has also proven that children who attend school regularly have better future prospects. Attending school has a huge impact on children’s academic success starting from Nursery right through to Secondary School. Research shows that pupils with high levels of school attendance are more likely to benefit from education, achieve better exam results and go on to have more successful careers.
Families play a key role in making sure their children get to school safely and on time.
Every absence comes at a price!
Why regular attendance is important
Sometimes being off school is unavoidable, but even a short absences can have a serious impact on your child’s progress in lessons; but more than that they miss out on chances to develop other skills. Children who regularly miss school can find it hard to make and keep friends and are often anxious when they return to school. Children with a history of poor attendance often don’t do as well in their exams as they should when they are older and their chances of getting a good job are reduced.
We want to avoid this at all costs, so if your child has a problem with coming to school, please let us know so that we support you to stop the problem getting worse!
