Attendance

Attendance matters

Good attendance allows students to be supported in their social, educational, emotional and mental development.

At Beccles High School we have an expectation of a minimum 96% attendance from all students. 

Above 97%: Excellent Attendance! -Less than 6 days absence a year 
95%:  Good Attendance - attendance equates to 10 days absence in a school year
90%:  Will be difficult for these students to achieve their best- attendance equates to 19 days absence in a school year. 
85%: Persistent absentees as stated by the DFE - attendance equates to 29 days absence in a school year.
80%: Could result in legal action by the local authority- attendance equates to 38 days absence in a school year. 

If you’re ever concerned about your child’s attendance, please do contact the school so we can work together to resolve the issue.
