School Attendance
Excellent attendance at school is important to allow children to be the best they can be and aim for a bright future.
Why it is so important to attend school:
Let’s make every school day count.
- To learn.
- To have fun.
- To make new friends.
- To experience new things in life.
- To learn about differences, people and culture.
- To be part of the community.
- To spend time with friends.To be part of a team.
- To develop new skills.To build confidence and self-esteem.
- To have the best possible start in life.
Key Point
Children who go to school regularly are more likely to make friends, to do well in school and be involved in their community.
Whilst not ideal getting your child into school late is ALWAYS better than not having them in at all.
**Please don’t send them to school if unwell especially in current circumstances.**
EAL (English as an Additional Language)
