Do you know what good attendance is? This is Simon. He is in Year 10 and has 90% attendance. Is that good? What does this mean?

90% attendance is… Half a day missed every week! (Would your boss like you to be off work this much - it’s practically part time!) Nearly four whole weeks of lessons missed in a school year! Half a school year missed over five years!

What impact might this have on Simon’s life? Research suggests that 17 missed school days a year = GCSE grade DROP! (DfES) The greater the attendance the greater the achievement.

The greater the achievement the more your son or daughter can earn in the future A good job A big house A great car Great holidays This can lead to a better standard of living with:
