WHY ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL
IS SO IMPORTANT –Excellent attendance at school is important
to allow a child or youngperson to fulfil their potential.
Every single day a child is absent from school equates to aday of lost learning.
Attendance percentages can be misleading.
100% Attendance 0 Days Missed Excellent
95% Attendance 9 Days of Absence1 Week and 4 Days of Learning Missed
Satisfactory
90% Attendance 19 Days of Absence3 Weeks and 4 Daysof Learning Missed
Poor
85% Attendance 28 Days of Absence5 Weeks and 3 Days of Learning Missed
Very Poor
80% Attendance 38 Days of Absence7 Weeks and 3 Days ofLearning Missed
Unacceptable
75% Attendance 46 Days of Absence9 Weeks and 1 Day ofLearning Missed
Unacceptable
For some parents, 90% may seem like an acceptable level of attendance,
but the reality is that 90% attendance means that your child will miss half aschool day each week or 19 days of
school during the school year – that’snearly 4 school weeks.
• DENI are monitoring attendance much more closely than ever before.
Each month the EA Western Area EWO (Educational Welfare Officer) visits the school to monitor attendance.
Therefore during the year if you child hits any of the above attendance levels you will be informed so you too are aware of how much learning time this equates to.

•Writing
Reading is about understanding written texts. Reading consists of two related processes.
1. Word recognition
