ATTENDANCE and PUNCTUALITY
Attendance and punctuality are important disciplines that help to structure our daily lives and must be taught to children. Schools have a duty to prepare pupils for life in the 21st century as fully formed citizens and part of this journey is to teach them about the importance of these two disciplines.
The Government line on attendance is very clear:
Central to raising standards in education and ensuring all pupils can fulfil their potential is an assumption so widely understood that it is insufficiently stated – pupils need to attend school regularly to benefit from their education. Missing out on lessons leaves children vulnerable to falling behind.
Children with poor attendance tend to achieve less in both primary and secondary school than regular attendance children.
School and parents/carers are partners in making this a success. As parents/carers it is your legal responsibility to make sure that your child makes the most of this opportunity by attending regularly. Please see below the attendance leaflet for Chapel End Academy where you can find further information.
