St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

 

As a school we take attendance very seriously and would like to remind parents that absences for holidays during term time are not authoised. If you need to take your child out of school for another reason, which is exceptional, please complete a Term Time Absence Form which you can download here or is available from the school office. Thank you

 

Every School Day Counts…. Days off add up to lost learning

We are all aware of the importance of accessing education in these formative years so you may find the following analysis informative.

If a child misses half a term a year, (i.e. attendance consistently falls  below 85%) 
this will total  more than a year of missed education by the time they leave their
 primary school, extending to more than 2 years missed education by the time 
they leave secondary school. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please don’t let your child miss out on the education they deserve.

Every school day counts!
