Coming to School Matters

When students Miss School, they Miss Out. Did you know that children who do not attend school regularly are more likely to:

  • Fall behind in their school work.

  • Find it difficult to make and keep friends

  • Be unhappy at school.

  • Misbehave so others cannot see that they are finding the work difficult.

  • Get into bad routines that can affect them getting or keeping a job later in life. 

Facts and figures 

Did you know?

  • 10 minutes late to school each day = 33 hours lost in one year

  • Your child being late disturbs the whole class from learning

  • 90% attendance through school life is equal to a whole year of school being missed!

  • Having good routines helps your child get into good patterns for the future.
