The government’s expectation for good attendance is 96% or above. A report published by the Department for Education in 2016 stated that “pupils with no absence are 2.2 times more likely to achieve 5+ GCSEs A*-C or equivalent and 2.8 times more likely to achieve 5+ GCSEs A*-C or equivalent including English and mathematics than pupils missing 15-20% of KS4 lessons”.
Parents are reminded that time off in term time does have a detrimental impact on outcomes for students and should be avoided wherever possible. Requests for exceptional term time holiday should be submitted directly to Mr Anderson.
