Why Attendance Matters at East Bergholt CEVC Primary School

We believe that every child deserves a supportive and enriching educational experience. As parents, you play a vital role in ensuring your child receives this by ensuring regular attendance.   It is a parent's legal responsibility to ensure their child attends school regularly. Regular attendance not only supports your child's academic progress but also helps them establish important routines that foster stability and well-being.

Why Attendance Is Important

1. Academic Success: Consistent attendance is crucial for your child to keep up with their learning and achieve their full potential. Missing school can lead to gaps in understanding and affect their outcomes.
2. Routine and Stability: Attending school regularly helps children establish routines, which are important for their overall development and well-being. It provides a structured environment that supports learning and social growth.
3. Preventing Disruption: Missing school can disrupt your child's educational progress and routines. It may also make them more vulnerable to negative influences, such as involvement in risky behaviours.
4. Long-Term Impact: Research shows that consistent attendance is linked to better academic outcomes and higher levels of qualifications. By attending school regularly, children are better prepared for future challenges and opportunities.
5. Life Skills and Resilience: Regular school attendance helps children develop essential life skills like responsibility, time management and resilience. These skills are invaluable for their future success in school and beyond.
