Attendance and Absence

Attendance and Absence

At Somercotes Infant & School, we believe that regular attendance is of the highest importance in making sure all our children get the best learning outcomes.

Statistics show that there is a direct link between poor attendance and under achievement. Children who come to school regularly and on time make better progress both academically and socially.
