  2. Some facts to get you thinking about how importance attendance at school really is.

  3. Think 90% attendance is fine? • That’s half a day off school every week!  • Over the school year, 90% attendance equates to 4 whole weeks off school.  • Over your 5 years in secondary school, 90% attendance means that you have missed HALF A SCHOOL YEAR!!

  4. Lates • Arriving 5 minutes late every day adds up to over 3 days lost each year • Arriving 15 minutes late every day is the same as being absent for 2 weeks a year • Arriving 30 minutes late every day is the same as being absent for 19 days a year

  5. GRADES = £ IN THE FUTURE.  Did you know…. • If you have no qualifications, and you are able to get a job, you are likely to earn £7.44 per hour • If you have GCSEs you can earn around £9.03 per hour • If you have A levels you can boost that to around £10.25 per hour • If you have a degree you can be earning upwards of £15.01 per hour

  6. ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT STATISTICS: • 93% Attendance (or better) gives you a 73% chance of achieving 5 GCSEs, grades A-C, whatever your ability • Below 90% Attendance will give you a 27% chance of achieving 5 GCSEs, grades A-C, whatever your ability

  7. SECONDARY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE BY YEAR 11 • 90% = 20 weeks missed = 1 ½ terms missed • 80% = 40 weeks missed = 1 year missed • 70% = 60 weeks missed = 1 ½ years missed • 60% = 80 weeks missed = 2 years missed
