"Its not OK to be away" 

Attendance - San Clemente has a history of strong levels of student attendance and our students, supported by their families regularly record an attendance record of over 95% on an annual basis. It has been particularly evident this year that attendance is at a very good level again and this is very encouraging. There is an inextricable link between consistently high levels of school attendance and student achievement and this is something we want to continue in our school. We thank our families for your support in this area.

The evidence is clear that since the pandemic of 2021/22 all families are more likely than ever to keep children at home should any sickness arise, which his understandable. Much of this promotion is to remind students and families that creating positive attendance habits are a skill that can be learnt. Negative habits can also be difficult to unlearn. Last week all families were sent a letter indicating the attendance rates of their children if it has been maintained above 90%. Later this Term ALL families will receive communication in regard to attendance level of their children.
