At Kingsthorne we encourage all of our children to have excellent attendance and punctuality. Research by the Education Department has shown that even short gaps in a child\u2019s attendance can reduce their progress and learning. Our aim at Kingsthorne is for every child to achieve 100%, with no late marks. We do understand, however, that children do have illnesses that may affect their attendance. With that in mind we do have an attendance target of 97% that all children should aspire to achieve in the academic year. Ultimately, if children are not in school, they cannot learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
