ATTENDANCE MATTERS BECAUSE EDUCATION MATTERS!

95% attendance is 9 days learning missed. 

90% attendance is 19 days learning missed – that’s nearly 4 weeks.

Give your child the best start in life – every school day counts.

 

You can demonstrate your commitment to your child’s education by not taking holidays during term time. Any child or young person who is absent from school due to a holiday will miss out on important learning and will fall behind with their school work.

In each Academic Year there are only a maximum of 190 statutory school days – this allows plenty of time for holidays to be arranged outside term time.

Holidays taken during term time will be categorised as an unauthorised absence.
