Lateness = Lost Learning

(figures below are calculated over a school year)

                              5 minutes late each day = 3 days lost!                                

10 minutes late each day = 6.5 days lost!

15 minutes late each day = 10 days lost!

20 minutes late each day = 13 days lost!

30 minutes late each day = 19 days lost!

As few as 19 missed days over the school year reduces thier chances of success. Their SATs results could drop by one grade across all subjects.

The question of attendance requires a partnership between parent/carers and school, with shared responsibility. Parent/Carers are primarily responsible for ensuring that children attend school, and it is the responsibility of the school to support attendance and to take seriusly problems which may lead to non-attendance.

.

• Under existing legislation parent/carers commit an offence if a child fails to attend school regulary.
• Without notification to school on the first day of absnce, attendance will be recorded as unauthorised.
• If unauthorised non-attendance continues this will result in a fixed penalty noticxe being served.
• Depending on circumstances such cases may result in prosecution under section 444 if the Education Act 1996.​

We would like to thank parents/carers for you continued support.
