Excellent attendance at school is important
at all stages but at crucial stages in their education such as S4-S6 when they
are working towards National qualifications it is vitally important that pupils
attend school regularly. It is of great
concern to teaching staff that some of their pupils are not in the classrooms
on a daily basis. There is no doubt that
the pupils who are attending all lessons are giving themselves a far better
chance of being successful now and in the future.
Currently in senior classes teachers are
doing their best to prepare pupils for exams and are assisting them to complete
courses and gain qualifications. They
cannot do this for those pupils who are not in school.
Once again our school figures show that on
average our attendance figures are falling below acceptable levels:
The expectation is that all year groups
will have over 95% attendance.
If your youngster is struggling to attend
school for any reason please contact the relevant Pupil Support Leader or
Lesley Warner (EWO) on 0131 664 7440. We
will be pleased to support you.
