Attendance and

Punctuality


Simon is in Yr 8.

His attendance is always around 90%.

He thinks this is pretty good.

90% attendance means that he is absent from lessons for

the equivalent of one half day every week.

In Yr 7 he missed the equivalent of four whole weeks

If Simon continued this pattern then over five years he will

miss the equivalent of about one half of a school year


How can parents encourage good

attendance?

• Keep an eye on your

son’s/daughter’s attendance

• Talk regularly with him/her about

school

• Only allow days at home if really

too ill to attend school

• Know the timetable

• Be aware of tests and assessment

• Encourage your son/daughter to

catch up missed work

If you have concerns:

• look for patterns

• talk and listen to your

child

• telephone us
