Attendance and Education Fixed Penalty Notices

Attendance 

Why is good attendance important?

  • It’s the law
  • Children who have very good attendance are more likely to gain 5 or more A-C GCSE’s or equivalent qualifications.
  • Schools provide opportunities for children to develop life skills.
  • At school children can be with their friends and learn to socialize and build resilience.
  • Schools have access to many support services - children who do not attend miss out on these services.

Remember it is your responsibility as the parent/carer to ensure your child regularly attends school—failure to do so can result in fines and even custodial sentences.
