Parkend Primary School

Attendance

 

Children only get one chance at school, and your child's chances of a successful future maybe affected by them not attending school regularly.

When children do not attend regularly they may;

  • Struggle to keep up with school work.
  • Miss out on social interactions which are fundamental for development. 
  • Cause unnecessary emotional and social anxiety

We shape well rounded citizens and prepare them for the future, employers want to recruit people are who are reliable, setting a good attendance pattern from an early age creates successful individuals  

Every minute in your child's education counts!

  • Arriving 5 minutes late every day is the same as 3 days over the school year!
  • Arriving 15 minutes late everyday is the same as 2 weeks over the school year!
  • Starting the day rushed and arriving late makes it harder for your children to settle into their classroom.
  • Arriving late into the classroom can make your child feel anxious and embarrassed.
  • Children who arrive late also disrupt the learning for others.
