Attendance
Every school day counts
Regular attendance in school is about giving children the best possible start in life.
Why is it important to attend school every day?
- Our learning is progressive. Each day we build upon the knowledge and experiences of the previous day and make important links between subjects and concepts
- School is an opportunity to socialise and engage with other children, developing important social skills
- Enrichment experiences including class trips, visitors and sporting events are not every day activities that can be recreated
In line with Government guidance, we monitor attendance regularly and have a target of 96% attendance. We want the very best for your child, and know that being at school every day will help them on their journey to success.
