At Colwick St Johns we are incredibly proud of our strong attendance figures, and this is testament to the excellent relationship that we have with our parents and carers who prioritise the attendance of their children.
Although it may sound ok if your child has 90% attendance, this means that they are missing half a day of school per week. Over one year this equates to a child missing 4 weeks of school and during the course of their education half a year of schooling would be lost.
All absence and lateness is recorded on your child’s school record and we monitor this information. Absences and lateness are followed up by our Attendance Officer, Miss Beresford. Remember that we are here to help! If you are having difficulties getting your child to school please come and talk to us.
The school day starts at:
