You've got to be in it, to win it!

Longtown has a statutory obligation to monitor attendance and report on it to the Department for Education. The minimum attendance level expected is 95%; the expectation for Outstanding schools is 98%+. Absence from school can seriously disrupt your child’s learning. Not only do they miss the teaching provided on the days they are away but they also have to simultaneously catch up and keep up on their return. This leads to a risk of underachievement which together we should be trying to avoid.
