Your child's attendance at Richmond Methodist School matters.
We believe that parents and carers play a crucial role in improving attendance. As such, we urge you to ensure that your child attends school on time, every day.
Good attendance is important because it promotes mental and physical wellbeing and pupils:
- make more progress academically and socially;
- cope better with school routines, work and friendships;
- find learning easier because they do not miss out;
- feel more confident;
- are more successful moving between primary school, secondary school, higher education and employment or training
Research also shows that pupils who attend school regularly have better school outcomes and more opportunities in later life, including a higher earning potential and better job prospect
