Attendance & Punctuality
Attendance
At St Anne’s RC Primary School, we recognise that there is a very clear relationship between the regularity with which pupils attend school and their academic achievement.
Pupils with good attendance benefit from:
Continuity of learning in lessons
Improved performance in examinations
Support and guidance with Reading, Writing and Maths.
Maintaining friendships.
Developing good habits for adult life.
We therefore ask for your support to keep absences to a minimum, so that we can prepare your child effectively for their future.
Punctuality Facts
5 minutes late each day = 3 days of lost learning each year
15 minutes late each day = 2 weeks of lost learning each year
30 minutes late each day = 19 days of lost learning each year
Holidays in Term Time
No holidays will be authorised unless there is an exceptional circumstance. If you choose to take an unauthorised leave of absence then you may be at risk of a £80 per child per parent fine from the Local Authority.
