Attendance

Why Every School Day Matters

At Manshead CE Academy we believe that every school day matters

A student that misses 10% of school sessions, whether the absence is authorised or unauthorised, is considered a “Persistent Absentee”

Pupils who attend school regularly are likely to leave school with more qualifications and greater access to employment opportunities

  • 90% attendance equates to 19 days of missed school a year
  • 15 minutes late every day equates to 10 days of lost schooling each year
  • There are 175 days to spend on family time, visits, holidays and appointments

Missing school impacts your child as:

  • It affects your child’s attainment
  • They suffer a break in the continuity of their learning or miss important topics
  • They suffer with poor confidence due to the fact that they have missed mid-topic information and are unable to understand or catch up
  • They will be at a disadvantage at Exam time
  • Your child’s results and progress suffers
  • It disrupts your child’s learning, friendships and social development

How you can help

Routine is key. Here are the top seven things that will help:

  • Help make sure your child is prepared by school by checking and packing schoolbags and PE kits the night before
  • Keep an eye on homework progress
  • Make sure your child goes to bed at a sensible time – tired children find it hard to learn
  • Have a morning routine – make sure the alarm goes off at the same time every morning
  • Make time for breakfast. A nutritious breakfast aids learning and gets rid off any shop stops on the way to school
  • Get your child to school on time so that they can meet their friends first thing – this will stop your child from becoming unsettled throughout the day
  • Get your child to help you put together a Calendar at home for all trips, events and activities that are going on at school
