Attendance

Attendance and punctuality are key to realising a student’s potential. We take great pride in having high expectations for both of these important and valued attributes.

An attendance of 95% still means a student has missed 9 days over the course of the academic year, or nearly 2 weeks.

90% Attendance equates to nearly 4 weeks off school in one academic year.

Similarly, lateness of just 5 minutes a day equates to 3 days off school in one year.

Given the time lost over the past academic year, it is vital that all students aim for 100% attendance.

Clearly there are times when illness means a student must be kept off school. In such circumstances can you please call the school on 01473 464545 giving the following information:

  • Your name
  • A contact number
  • Your child’s name
  • Your child’s form group
  • The reason for absence
