Excellent attendance is one of the strongest predictors of how well children do at school. We work hard with our families to make sure every child is in school every day they are well enough to learn.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\n\n

\r\n Every day matters<\/span>

Why attendance is so important<\/h2>

Children who attend regularly are happier, make stronger friendships and learn more. If your child needs to miss school, please let us know early in the day so we know they are safe.<\/p>

If we have not heard from parents and a child is not in school, this poses a safeguarding risk. We may <\/span>carry out a home visit.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
