‘Pupils with no absence are over twice as
likely to achieve 5 grade 5s and above in
their GCSEs’
‘There is a clear link between poor
attendance at school and lower
academic achievement.’
90% of young people with absence rates
below 85% fail to achieve five or more
good grades of GCSE and around one
third achieve no GCSEs!!!
Being late 15 minutes every day is the
same as missing 2 whole weeks of
school over a full academic year.
Being late means you miss out on
your learning – then you feel behind,
then you get stressed….
However – if you are running late,
DO still come in. There will be less
catching up to do then.
