School Attendance

Good attendance means going to school every day.  You may think 90% attendance is high but that means your child will miss half a school day every single week.

To ensure children are in school every day, you should:

• Make all appointments outside of school hours, if possible
• Plan holidays when schools are closed
• Check the school day and school calendar in advance
• Communicate with school immediately to resolve any concerns or worries, rather than keep your child off school

If you are concerned about attendance, please contact Sarah Dunn via the school office.
