Bristol's school attendance websiteDid you know:
Missing 5 days of every term, every year is the same as missing 1 whole school year!*
School attendance is important:
- To keep up with school-work and make friends.
- To get the best possible start in life and make the best of opportunities available
- Because employers and colleges look at attendance before offering places.
- Because school attendance is required by law ,
- Because learning makes a difference to your child's future.
Missing school to go shopping, for a birthday or holiday may seem a good idea but during that time:
- Your son or daughter has missed out on learning.
- Catching up with work and friends may be difficult.
Did you know:
90% attendance may seem positive but it means missing 1 HALF DAY A WEEK. This equals A WHOLE HALF YEAR of secondary education!
