Every Day Counts and we strive for 100% attendance and punctuality
For each percentage attendance we show the number of weeks absence this represents.
Attendance over 1 school year
| Percentage | Weeks absent from School |
| 96% | 1 week plus |
| 95% | 2 weeks |
| 90% | 4 weeks |
| 85% | 5.5 weeks |
| 80% | 7.5 weeks |
Attendance over 5 school years
| Percentage | Weeks absent from School |
