Regular and punctual school attendance is vital if students are to maximise opportunities and reach their full potential.

We appreciate the support of parents and carers in encouraging their children to attend regularly and if there are any school related issues that may impact on this we have a number of support options and strategies within school to help overcome these.

Clearly attendance at school is crucial and, as you would expect, performance data shows that there is an absolute link between attendance patterns and achievement; quite simply those students who have the highest attendance rates do best. It is worth remembering that if, for whatever reason, a child misses 10 days of school in a term, he or she will miss 50 teaching periods and, despite everyone’s best intentions and efforts, this time can never be made up.
