Attendance

Penbridge is continually focusing on attendance and punctuality and would like to remind you that we expect children’s attendance to be at least 96%- this is in line with what the Government expects from all schools.

Thank you very much to those families who have been working hard to ensure children’s attendance and punctuality is high- these are important habits to establish in your children’s lives and will make a difference in their future.

There is a definite link between achievement and attendance and therefore it is very important that your child attends school every day unless there are exceptional circumstances.

If your child accumulates 10 or more unauthorised absences, a referral will be sent to the school attendance team for irregular attendance and could result in a fixed penalty notice.
