In the first whole school Assembly of the 2024-25 school year Mrs McMaster presented the 2023- 2024 Gold (100%) and Silver (99%) Attendance Awards. 

Congratulations to all the pupils who received an award for 100% Attendance/99% Attendance during the 2023-2024 school year. 

Please see below how the Department of Education explain % attendance rates over the school year. 

100% Attendance  - 0 Days Missed  - Excellent
95% Attendance - 9 Days of Absence - 1 Week and 4 Days of Learning Missed - Satisfactory
90% Attendance  - 19 Days of Absence - 3 Weeks and 4 Day of Learning Missed - Poor
85% Attendance  - 28 Days of Absence - 5 Weeks and 3 Days of Learning Missed - Very Poor
80% Attendance - 38 Days of Absence - 7 Weeks and 3 Days of Learning Missed -Unacceptable
75% Attendance - 46 Days of Absence - 9 Weeks and 1 Day of Learning Missed - Unacceptable

For some parents, 90% may seem like an acceptable level of attendance, but the reality is that 90% attendance means that your child will miss half a school day each week or 19 days of school during the school year – that’s
nearly 4 school weeks of learning missed. 

Let's go for it this year - remember ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
