Every minute counts when it comes to attendance in school and so we work hard to promote this to our children and families.
Our target for attendance this academic year (2019-2020) is 96.5%.
Improving on last year where we finished on 95.8%. Last year (2018-2019) we successfully maintained 96% for the majority of the year, just shy of our school target of 96.5% the national expectation, and significantly reduced the overall number of persistent absentees. Term time holidays played a significant role in the drop in attendance figures at the end of last year. We do recognise that quality family time is important but can you please refrain from planning term time holidays.
