Attendance/Punctuality
• Learning
• Behaviour and Attitude
Attendance
Another way of saying this is:-
90% attendance means that a child is missing half a day of lessons every week.
In a single year this would mean a child has missed four whole weeks. Over five years it means that a child has missed half a school year i.e. 20 weeks, or one and a half terms or the equivalent of studying one full time GCSE for a year
