Please follow this process if your child is going to be absent from school:
There are 190 school days each year, this means that there are 175 non-school days a year
Attendance
Every School Day Counts
Every school day a child is absent from school equates to a day of lost learning.
Attendance percentages can be misleading. If we took a maths test 90% would be great: but do you know what it really means when looking at attendance?
Persistent Absence
Defined as 10% or more of sessions missed (based on each pupil's possible sessions). Absences may be authorised or unauthorised
Severe Absence
Defined as 50% or more of sessions missed (based on each pupil's possible sessions). Absences may be authorised or unauthorised.
