Attendance and Punctuality

Good attendance and punctuality are essential for children to get the most out of their education. When children arrive late, they miss important work at the beginning of the school day. Frequent absences also result in missed lessons, hindering their progress.

At Lyon Park Primary School, we are committed to ensuring good attendance and punctuality. Research shows a clear link between high attendance and success at school. Short, frequent absences are particularly disruptive to learning. When children arrive late, they miss the start of the first lesson and often struggle to catch up, affecting their overall learning experience.
