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.

More likely to achieve more GCSEs at a higher grade

Less likely to be involved with anti-social behaviour
