Please can we ask all parents and carers to help support us in improving our attendance so that we can give your child/ren the best education. We are sure you will agree that they deserve nothing less.
This is a table showing the impact of poor attendance and what it looks like in terms of missing school days and lessons.
| For 1 year: Child’s attendance
|
How many days of education the child is missing
|
How many weeks of educations the child is missing
|
How many lessons a child is missing in a year
|
| 95% | 9 days | 2 weeks | 50 lessons a year missed |
| 90% | 19 days | 4 weeks | 100 lessons a year missed |
| 86% | 29 days | 6 weeks | 150 lessons a year missed |
| 80% | 38 days | 8 weeks | 200 lesson a year missed |
| 75% | 48 days | 10 weeks | 250 lessons a year missed. |
This shows why 96% must be our target and why good attendance is so important.
