Attendance Matters

Every school day matters. Regular attendance gives children the best opportunity to learn, build friendships, develop confidence and enjoy all that school life has to offer.

We understand that there may be times when a child is unable to attend school, particularly due to illness or other exceptional circumstances. By working closely with parents and carers, we aim to support every child in attending school regularly and arriving on time.

Our Attendance Policy explains our approach to attendance, the responsibilities of the school and families, and the support available if there are any concerns. Together, we can help every child make the most of each school day.

As part of our commitment and vision of ensuring your child reaches their full potential, attendance is very important to us. The Welsh Government target for attendance is 95% and, as a school, we aim to exceed this target.

We acknowledge that absence is inevitable but we do ask that:

* Every effort is made for pupils to attend school when they are well enough to do so

* Parents work with the school to increase attendance where low attendance is identified

* Absence is reported to school in the first day of absence. If an absence lasts beyond three days, please do update us with how your child is doing.
