Being in school is important to your child’s academic achievement, wellbeing, and wider development.
There is evidence to suggest that regular school attendance is a key mechanism to support children and young people’s educational, economic and social outcomes. Regular school attendance can facilitate positive peer relationships, which is a protective factor for mental health and wellbeing.
Attendance at school is crucial to prepare young people for successful transition to adulthood, and to support their longer term economic and social participation in society. There is also evidence that the pupils with the highest attendance throughout their time in school gain the best results. It’s never too late to benefit from good attendance.
From the first day of term to the last, the small moments in a school day make a real difference to your child.
