Attendance Matters 🙌✨

Stay on Track: The Importance of Attending School Every Day - 14 weeks to go!

As the days get longer, the weather warms up, and caravan season kicks off, it’s tempting to take an extra-long weekend or sneak in a few days away. But before you pack up and hit the road, remember—every school day counts!

Regular attendance is essential for success. Every lesson missed is knowledge lost, and those gaps can quickly add up, making it harder to keep up. Teachers plan lessons carefully to ensure our children build on their skills each day, and missing even one can set you back.

Long weekends may seem harmless, but they disrupt routines, making it harder to settle back into learning. Plus, when multiple pupils miss class, it affects group activities, discussions, and progress for everyone.

There’s plenty of time for travel and adventure during the holidays—so let’s make the most of the remaining school days while they last. Show up, stay engaged, and keep your child’s learning on track. Your child will thank you!
