Attendance

We monitor every child's attendance daily.  We are able to provide support, or advice, to any parent with regards to attendance.  Every school day counts towards your child's future.  Days off school add up to lost learning.

Impact

Excellent attendance is important for a number of reasons.  It has been proven that students with excellent attendance are:

• More likely to achieve more GCSEs at a higher grade

• Less likely to be involved with anti-social behaviour

• Generally more    settled within School

Our inspirational teachers can't inspire you, if you aren't in school.
