🌟 EVERY DAY COUNTS! 🌟

At The Park Schools Federation, we want every child to have the very best opportunity to learn, grow, achieve and thrive. 💙📚

Coming to school every day really does make a difference. Good attendance helps children to:
✨ Keep up with their learning
✨ Build strong friendships
✨ Develop confidence and routines
✨ Feel part of their school community
✨ Reach their full potential

We completely understand that children do become genuinely unwell and sometimes absence is unavoidable. This message isn’t about making families feel worried or guilty — it’s simply about working together to give our children the best possible start. ❤️

Even a few missed days can quickly add up across the school year, so please take a look at our attendance guide below. 👇

Be here. Learn more. Achieve more. 🌟
Because at Park, every day counts! 💙
