Without early support, occasional absence can develop into persistent absence, affecting a pupil’s engagement with school. Evidence shows that attendance habits formed in primary school often continue into secondary education, influencing both academic progress and social development.

The Impact of Missed Days
Attendance is more than daily presence; it is a key habit that develops over time. While a single day of absence may appear minor, repeated absences can accumulate quickly and form patterns that become difficult to change.
