Regular school attendance is vital to every child’s success, helping them make the most of their learning and feel fully part of school life. At Breachwood Green School, we believe that strong attendance supports academic success, nurtures resilience and ensures that pupils can fully engage with the curriculum and wider school life.

Punctuality

Whilst every day attendance is essential, so is punctuality.  At Breachwood Green JMI School, when classroom doors open at 8:45am, learning begins straight away with carefully planned activities that build key skills vital for accessing the wider curriculum. Arriving on time ensures children can fully participate, settle into their routines smoothly, and make the most of every learning opportunity from the very start of the day.

If your child is absent...

All absences, for whatever reason, should be explained in writing. It is a legal requirement that schools keep detailed records of absences and these have to be carefully monitored by staff and are checked by the Education Welfare Officers. Absence data is returned to the Local Authority each term.
