· Children who attend school regularly achieve better academic results.
· Being in school helps children feel part of a safe, stable routine.
· Friendships, confidence, and emotional wellbeing grow through daily interaction.
· Missing school means missing key explanations, practical experiences, and rich discussions that can’t always be repeated.
Some Risks of Poor Attendance:
· Children are likely to miss learning activities that their classmates have taken part in, which means that they could fall behind.
· They miss out on social interactions with friends and classmates which can have a negative effect on their wellbeing and self esteem.
· Low attendance is associated with anti-social behaviour and poor learning behaviours.
