School Attendance

We want all children to have the best possible attendance at school to enable each and every child to reach their full potential. 

There is a strong link between good school attendance and achieving good results for children. Children who frequently miss school may fall behind in their work which may affect their future prospects.

Tips for Good School Attendance

• Good habits start early in life, so even before your child starts school, establish good routines, such as reading before bedtime and going to bed on time
• If your child is off school, you must let the school know why and tell them when they can expect your child back
• Make all appointments for the doctor, dentist, optician etc after school hours or during the school holidays where possible
