Every Day Counts WWP Attendance Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n

The following information explains the percentage of a pupil\u2019s attendance at school and what this means in days\/learning missed. As per Glasgow City Council procedures, when a pupil\u2019s percentage falls, procedures are activated to help support and encourage regular attendance at school.<\/p>\n

Attendance levels are calculated on a daily basis and all absences from school,\u00a0including Term Time Holiday Leave<\/strong>, whether\u00a0authorised<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0unauthorised<\/strong>\u00a0will affect a student\u2019s percentage of attendance.<\/p>\n

You will be informed in writing at the end of each term should your child\u2019s percentage of attendance fall below 90%.<\/p>\n

Attendance Level 98% +<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the equivalent of\u00a04 days off<\/strong>\u00a0during the year. This is above average and represents\u00a0very<\/strong>\u00a0good\u00a0<\/strong>attendance. Thank you to all pupils and parents who achieved this.<\/p>\n

Attendance Level 95% to 97%<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the equivalent of\u00a05 to 9 days off<\/strong>\u00a0during the year. This is in line with the national average and represents\u00a0satisfactory<\/strong>\u00a0attendance.<\/p>\n

Attendance Level 90% to 95%<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the equivalent of\u00a010 to 19 days off<\/strong> during the year. If your child\u2019s attendance continues to remain at this level or becomes lower, school staff a will become concerned about the potential impact on your child\u2019s academic progress and achievement. You may receive a visit from the school if your child\u2019s attendance is of concern.<\/p>\n

Attendance Level 80% to 90%<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the equivalent of 20 to 38 days off during the year. You will receive a\u00a0letter from the school\u00a0<\/strong>and your child\u2019s\u00a0attendance will be monitored closely<\/strong>. You may be invited to a meeting to discuss the impact of your child\u2019s attendance on their learning and progress in school.<\/p>\n

Attendance Level Less Than \u2013 80%<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the equivalent of more than 38 days off during the year. You will also have been invited to the school to discuss your child\u2019s progress and supports in place. Social Work may also have been informed about concerns surrounding attendance if families do not respond to letters or engage with the school. As a result of lack of attendance your child may be referred to Social Work and the Scottish Children\u2019s Reporters Administration (SCRA). You may be invited to appear at a children\u2019s panel hearing and if your child\u2019s attendance does not improve, court proceedings may follow. This is a last resort but good attendance is vital to your child\u2019s success in school.<\/p>\n
