Coming to school every day helps children learn, make friends and feel happy at school. Good attendance gives children the best chance to do well and enjoy their learning. Missing school can make learning harder. Even a few days away from school can mean children miss important lessons and activities. The more time a child spends in school, the more they can learn and achieve. If your child is unwell, please let us know as soon as possible. If you need help with attendance, our staff are here to support you. By working together, we can help every child be a happy learner and enjoy a brighter future.
