Why is good attendance important?
- Students who attend regularly achieve higher grades and develop positive learning habits.
- Missing school can create gaps in knowledge, making it harder to catch up.
- Good attendance supports wellbeing, friendships, and engagement in school life.
- Persistent absence can lead to safeguarding concerns and limit future opportunities.
If your child is struggling with attendance, we are here to support you.
