The Value of Good School Attendance
Here at Horbury St Peters & Clifton CE (VC) Primary School we know that regular school attendance is the key to getting a good education. If your child is frequently absent from school he or she will be putting their future in jeopardy. Chronic absenteeism is strongly associated with failure at school and limited life chances.

School attendance is one of the most important issues facing schools in Britain. Your child must be taught to understand the value of education. As a parent or carer you need to appreciate the vital role you have in ensuring and promoting regular attendance at school. Regular attendance is necessary for success in school, and as a parent or carer you are the key person who will make a difference.
All children enjoy the experience of school if they are secure and confident and feel that their parents or carers demonstrate that they too feel positive about school.
