Expectations cont…Attendance
■ Do you know what your child’s attendance is ?
■ Do you know what it means ?
■ Do you know what effects it will have on their future ?
90% sounds good but …..
■ this is the equivalent of missing half a day every week !
( Would someone keep you on in a job if you missed this amount of time ?)
■ Over a school year this is 4 weeks –100 lessons lost.
■ Between now and their exams this would be nearly 7 school days lost, 35 lessons!
