ATTENDANCE NEWS and UPDATES23 October 2023 (by admin) |
Your child's school attendance MATTERS. A good level of school attendance equals OPPORTUNITIES for LIFE! Good attendance habits start at a young age.
Attendance for the whole school last week was 94.2%.
Our winning class was 3GC with 100% - well done! EXTRA BREAK BECKONS for Year 3CG (yippee!).
Whole school attendance at St. Bernard's, since September 2023, is 95.4%
The national primary school attendance since September is 95.3%
We are currently getting lots of requests from parents for extended leave during term time. Please be aware that periods of extended leave will not be authorised during term time - if you take your child out of school for extended leave then you will be fined and your child will be in danger of losing their place in school.
It is vital that your child is in school every day and on time - a reminder that the school gates close at 8:45 each day. As the attached table shows, even a small amount of time missed can have a huge impact on your child's development and could lead to them falling significantly behind their peers.
