This page details the attendance information for the school including the school attendance action plan, attendance data, attendance home information and incentives Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Good attendance is very important for every child's learning, wellbeing, and success at school.
When children attend school regularly, they build strong routines, develop confidence, responsibility and make the most of learning opportunities with their teachers and friends. These habits start in primary school and have a lasting impact well beyond the classroom.
Being in school every day helps children keep up with lessons (as these build carefully from day to day), practise key skills, and feel part of the school community. Even missing a small amount of time can make learning harder, as lessons build day by day.
These days can not be made up even with catch-up support Parents and carers have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure their child attends school regularly and on time. Good attendance of 95% and more is essential for your children to make good progress in school.
