Attendance - Every Moment Matters  

Did you know that
  • 90% attendance equals half a day of School missed every week
  • One School year at 90% attendance = 4 whole weeks of lessons and School work missed
  • 90% attendance over 5 years of secondary School = half a School year missed
  • There is a direct correlation between low student attendance and future employment prospects
  • Research suggests that 17 missed School days a year is equal to a GCSE grade drop in achievement (Department for Education and Skills).
  • We want you to enjoy a school experience that helps you to achieve your very best.  
  • Regular attendance plays a crucial role in this, as children who attend school consistently not only make stronger academic progress but also build confidence, resilience, and positive friendships.
  • Even a small amount of absence can add up over time.
  • This can make it harder for you to keep up with lessons, feel settled, and make the most of the opportunities school has to offer.
