Raise Your Child’s Attendance – Raise Their Chances
Most parents want their children to succeed – a good education is vital in securing opportunities in adulthood. If a school can improve attendance by 1%, they will see a 5-6% improvement in attainment (Department for Education).

Please help us and your child by ensuring their attendance remains above 95%, allowing them to achieve their potential.

Does 90% attendance sound good?

Maybe, but that missing 10% actually means half a day missed every week. No employer would be happy with that! The Department for Education research suggests that 17 missed school days a year can mean a whole GCSE grade DROP in achievement. The greater the attendance the greater the achievement. That’s a fact!

We need to know

Whenever a child is absent from school the parent should on the first day of absence contact the school with an explanation by telephone, schoolcomms or via email admin@foundry.wokingham.sch.uk. We need to know as soon as possible.
