At Hurdsfield we promote a simple message: great attendance maximizes potential!

It is our clear expectation that every child attends school on time and every day.  This expectation links with our school motto because 'only our BEST (attendance and punctuality) will do' 

We expect every child to be an ATTENDANCE HERO!

Remember:

• If your child is regularly late by 5 minutes each day, in a year, your child will lose 3 full days of education.
• If your child is regularly late by 10 minutes each day, in a year, your child will lose 6.5 days of education.
• If your child is regularly late by 15 minutes each day, in a year, your child will lose 10 full days of education.
• If your child is regularly late by 20 minutes each day, in a year, your child will lose 13 full days of education.
• If your child is regularly late by 30 minutes each day, in a year, your child will lose 19.5 days of education.

Every minute counts:  Your child’s daily attendance at school is essential to their success at school and we are keen to continue to develop every child’s attendance to meet and exceed national expectations.  Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please support our school by promoting awesome attendance at school.
