Good Timekeeping Matters

"Did you know that being 15 minutes late each day is the same as missing two weeks of school"

LOST MINUTES = LOST LEARNING

Every day counts but every minute is important!

Over one full academic year:

5 minutes late = 3 days lost,

10 minutes late = 6.5 days lost,

15 minutes late = 10 days lost,

20 minutes late = 13 days lost,

30 minutes late = 19 days lost

Every School Day Counts

Days off school can lead to lost learning. Gaps in your child's education can mean that they may not achieve their full potential.

365 DAYS IN A YEAR - 175 ARE NON-SCHOOL DAYS!

That means there are 175 days to spend on family time, visits, holidays, shopping, household jobs and other appointments.

190 days in school (0 days absence) = 100% Good, Best chance of success, gets your child off to a flying start

180 days in school (10 days absence) = 95% Good, Best chance of success, gets your child off to a flying start

161 days in school ( 29 days absence) = 85% Worrying, Less chance of success, Makes it harder to make progress

143 days in school (47 days absence) = 75% Serious Concern, Not fair on your child, Could lead to Court Action or FPN!

Your child deserves an education. Every day really does count.
