Attendance and Punctuality

At Claydon High School we are aiming for all of our young people to have good attendance. This is 96% attendance and above. But what does this mean...

95% attendance means that your child has missed 9 days of school in a complete school year
90% attendance means that your child has missed 19 days of school, the equivalent of half a day every week
80% attendance means that your child has missed eight weeks of school. Attendance of below 90% over 5 years is equivalent to your child missing half a year of school
Consistent attendance of below 80% over 5 years means that your child misses a whole year of school

You can find your child's attendance information on the Arbor app.

You must let us know that your child is absent.

Telephone 01473 836110 and press Option 1
