Attendance at TAS

At TAS, we place a strong emphasis on attendance because we believe that "everyday counts." We are committed to ensuring that every child has access to the excellent education we provide. For the 2024-2025 school year, we have set an ambitious attendance target of 97%. This exceeds the national and Local Authority averages, but we are confident that it can be achieved. Our goal is for every child to maintain at least 95% attendance or higher. We understand that there is a clear connection between consistent attendance and progress. When a child misses school, they miss out on crucial learning opportunities—time that can never be fully regained. Regular attendance is essential for a child to reach their full potential. To put it in perspective, 90% attendance means your child has missed half a day of school every week. Over a full academic year, this amounts to nearly 4 weeks of missed schooling, equivalent to 19 days or 80 lessons. At TAS, we actively promote the importance of regular attendance as a key aspect of personal development. We work in partnership with parents and students to foster a positive attitude and strong commitment to education.
