Attendance MATTERS!
 
We implement the following traffic light system, to ensure that all parents are clear of the expectations for attendance at Monks Risborough CE School.

95.1 % and above = good attendance.  These children are likely to achieve
90.1% - 95% = Amber Zone.  These children are automatically monitored by the school
90% and below – these children will be considered for legal monitoring by the local authority

Attendance will be monitored over a 5 week period.  If attendance falls below 95.1% and children move into the amber zone, you will receive a yellow monitoring letter and attendance will continue to be monitored for a further 5 weeks.  If at this point attendance has not improved, your child will then move into the red zone.
 
Number of lessons missed due to poor attendance
Children are required by law to attend school for 190 days each year. The school expects at least 95% attendance from its pupils. The table below puts absence in the context of the lessons children miss at school.

Holidays are not an acceptable reason to be absent from school.  A medical note is also expected for persistent absence due to illness.
