Most parents want their child to achieve their full potential. Today it is more important than ever to have a good education. Children only get one chance at school, and your child’s chances of a successful future may be affected by not attending school regularly. Research suggests that every 17 days missed from school may mean your child may drop a whole attainment grade.
If a child does not attend school regularly, they may not be able to keep up with school work. In a busy school day it can be difficult for teachers to find the extra time to help a child catch up.
School is not only about academic work; missing out on the social side of school life especially at primary school - can affect a child’s ability to make and keep friends and work alongside people later in life.
Every day of every school week is one unique ‘building brick’: missing that day means that your child will have holes in the walls of their ‘education house’.
