Attendance and Punctuality
Good attendance ensures students reach their full potential, both academically and socially, leading to positive life chances in the future. Did you know that your child’s academic success can be directly linked to the number of days absence your child has from school? Statistics show that 10 days absence from school in a year could equate to underachievement by half a grade in each subject. So what can you do to ensure your child has the best possible chance to succeed?
