-
There are 365 days a year – you only have to attend school for 190 of those. That leaves 175 days to do everything else.
-
If you are 5 minutes late every day… that adds up to 3 days lost per year
-
If you are 15 minutes late every day… that adds up to almost 10 days lost every year
-
If you are absent from school for 1 day a week throughout your school life… you will be missing 2 years of your education
-
If you are absent from school for 1 day every half a term throughout your whole school life, you will miss, in total, 3 months of education
-
90% attendance throughout your school life = missing 1 whole year of education
