A Parent’s story ‘I was shocked when Tom’s report indicated that he’d only had an 85% attendance record. He goes to school every day. So I phoned the school to say they’d got it wrong but when we went through the figures they hadn’t. It all adds up.’

2 days added to half term to get cheaper flights for our Florida break. 2 Days Last 2 days of Christmas term (surely they’re winding down anyway) 2 Days Flu. He can’t help being ill 5 Days Tom’s uncle over from USA, he only comes over every 2 years 1 day Cold. All his friends had it too. 1 day Missed bus (can’t expect him to walk all that way) 1 day Driving theory test 1 day University visit 1 day Total days absent out of 91 school days 14 days 14 days out of 91 = 85% attendance will affect progress by roughly 1-2 grades 85%
