Attendance

Thriving at school because school is more than schoolwork. 

The lessons your child learns at school go far beyond academics. The friendships they build, the challenges they work through, and the everyday experiences they have teach them skills for life. We know it isn't always easy getting your child to school but encouraging them to go – even during difficult moments – builds their resilience. School is where they develop social skills, build confidence, and learn that working through challenges can be rewarding. When children attend regularly, they are more likely to feel connected to their school community and their peers.

We understand that it can be hard to decide if your child should stay off school when they are feeling unwell. To help make things easier, the NHS offers clear guidance on when children should stay home and when they can still go to school.
