Attendance Update

I would like to thank you for your efforts in improving attendance and punctuality.

Our attendance target this year is 95%, and we are on target to achieve it, if we achieve our goal, we will be alongside the best schools in Wales.  It is clear that high attendance supports high achievement and as a school we have evidence which clearly supports this.

Please remember to:

• Notify the school if your child is absent.
