Attending school is vital for children to continue improving their learning, emotional and social skills.
Below you can see what different percentages of attendance looks like in terms of days missed during just one school year. If a child has consistently low attendance over a number of years the impact on their education and the progress they make is significant.
Number of days missed in one school year
5 days off = 97%
10 days off = 95%
20 days off = 90%
30 days off = 85%
40 days off = 80%
50 days off = 75%
60 days off = 70%
70 days off = 65%
We understand that there may be exceptional circumstances that require children to be off school for longer periods of time.
