Attendance Newsletter 5 – 22

Hello and welcome to our Attendance Newsletter No. 5.  Happy New Year!

Thank you to parents/carers who have continued to work hard to get their children to school every day, one time.  Well done to 67 pupils who had 100% attendance in Term 2 (1st November – 17th December).  It is really good to see so many pupils attending school every day.

YOU CAN HELP BY ENSURING YOUR CHILDREN ATTENDS EVERY DAY, ONE TIME!

Why does school attendance matter?

Missing a few days or school here and there may not seem a bid deal, but research shows that it can have a significant impact on children’s learning.  Children who miss a substantial amount of school fall behind their peers and struggle to catch up.

Most of the work they miss is never made up, which can lead to big gaps in their learning.

Friendships can be affected by children missing school too.  It can be hard for a child who misses lots of school to form relationships with their classmates.

Poor attendance also reflects badly on your child’s school.  Ofsted expect all schools to have good attendance rates.  You can help by ensuring your child comes to school every day?

NEW YEAR – NEW RESOLUTION!

Small changes can make a big difference!

Why not pack your child’s bag or lunchbox the night before?

Set the alarm clock ten minutes earlier?

These small changes can help everyone to be ready to leave home in good time, arrive at school ON TIME and be ready for the day ahead.

Thank you for your support in helping to raise our school attendance.  If you would like any support or advice on attendance or punctuality, please come and speak to me.
