ATTENDANCE CONCERNS
I have been analysing the progress pupils made last academic year and I can see that pupils who missed at least one week of the school year due to absence made up to half of the progress of those pupils who didn't. Half the progress!
It is so crucial that children are here in school as much as possible. If they are ill then of course they need to be off, but wherever possible they need to be in school. Not being here, even for just one week, will severely hamper their academic progress. I can see that just by looking through all of the school reports for the children from last year.

The law now states that anyone off school not for an exceptional reason MUST be passed onto the local council for them to look into fining parents. We have had to send two such requests to the council this term already. So I would urge you all not to take your child out for a holiday and not to keep them off school unless they are ill or for another exceptional reason.
