Attendance & Punctuality

Attendance and punctuality
We continue to work really hard to improve attendance and are seeing positive improvements.
 
​It is really important that children are in school and are on time. Late arrival can set your child up for a difficult start to the day. Please take a look at the information below to see what an impact being late or absent actually adds up to.

5 minutes late each day = over 3 days lost (over a year)
10 minutes late each day = about 6. 5 days lost
15 minutes late each day = about 10 days lost
20 minutes late each day = about 13 days lost
30 minutes late each day = about 19 days lost

As few as 19 days lost over a year can significantly reduce your child's chances of success at school!!

100% attendance = 190 school days = 0 weeks absence
95% attendance = 180 school days = 2 weeks absence
90% attendance = 171 school days = 4 weeks absence
85% attendance = 161 school days = 6 weeks absence
80% attendance = 152 school days = more than a half-term lost
75% attendance = 143 school days = more than 9 weeks lost!!!

Please ensure that your child attends school every day! Every School Day Counts.
