At St. Patrick's Catholic Primary School, we know that good attendance is essential for children to achieve their full potential. Every day in school provides valuable learning opportunities, supports friendships and helps children develop positive routines and habits for the future.

The Government has significantly increased its expectations regarding school attendance, making it more important than ever that children attend school regularly and arrive on time each day.

We understand that families can sometimes face challenges that affect attendance. If you are experiencing difficulties or barriers that are impacting your child's attendance, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. We are committed to working in partnership with families to find solutions and provide support where needed.

How We Can Help

If you need support with your child's attendance, please contact the school and ask to speak with our Educational Welfare Officer (EWO), Helen Carolina.

Helen can provide advice, guidance and practical support to help improve attendance and address any concerns you may have. She is happy to meet with families:

• At school
• In your home
• At a mutually convenient location

Together, we can identify any barriers to attendance and develop a plan to support your child in attending school regularly and successfully.
