School Attendance

5th Mar 2025

Following publication by the Department of Education of annual statistics in relation to attendance in
schools we are pleased to see our whole school Attendance figure remains in line, if not slightly higher than other local similar sized schools in the area.

The Department of Education regularly updates schools with attendance figures across all sectors and it is noteworthy that there is a very strong correlation between good school attendance and overall academic and other life outcomes, so ensuring that your son/daughter is in regular attendance is vitally important for their future.

The Department of Education tiers are as follows:

Regular – 100 to 95% attendance
At risk – 95 to 90% attendance
Chronic – 90 to 80% attendance
Severe Chronic – 80% or less attendance

You can check your son/daughter’s attendance on their Annual Report or by contacting the school office.
