Attendance

Our aim is to bring the best out of every pupil that attends Stanground St John’s CofE Primary School!

The Importance of Attendance

Attendance in school is extremely important because it ensures that pupils have consistent access to learning, helping them achieve their full potential. Regular attendance supports academic progress, builds essential social skills, and fosters a sense of belonging within the school community. It also allows teachers to deliver lessons effectively and maintain continuity in learning.


Poor overall attendance in a school can lead to significant negative consequences. Pupils who are frequently absent often experience learning gaps, lower achievement, and wider attainment disparities. This impacts the school’s performance data and can result in negative inspection outcomes. Additionally, it raises safeguarding concerns, increases intervention needs, and weakens school culture, ultimately affecting the quality of education and community trust.
