Attendance
Regular attendance at school is vital to help children achieve and to give them the best possible start in life.
Children who frequently miss school often fall behind. There is a strong link between good school attendance and achieving good results. For example, only 12% of pupils with below 80% school attendance achieve five or more GCSEs at grades A*-C including English and Maths, compared to 68% for pupils with attendance greater than 95%. Good attendance at school shows potential employers that a young person is reliable. Young people who are frequently absent from school are more likely to become involved in, or be a victim of, crime and anti-social behaviour. The earlier we get our children into the right habits, the better. This useful leaflet will tell you all you need to know about Pupil Attendance and Absence at both Countess Wear Community School and Clyst Heath Nursery and Community Primary School.
