As a parent you are legally responsible for making sure that your child attends school. If your child fails to attend school without an acceptable reason you risk getting a Fixed Penalty Notice or being prosecuted.

#NotInMissOut

Torfaen Council’s education service has launched a new campaign to celebrate the varied benefits of going to school every day including a great education, fun activities and spending time with friends.

Torfaen Council will be working with other schools to promote their exciting curricular and extra-curricular activities over the coming months.

The target attendance rate for primary and secondary schools in Torfaen is 95 per cent.

Pupils who take off an average of half a day off a week will have an attendance rate of 90 per cent. Those who take off an average of one day off a week will have an attendance rate of 80 per cent.

Allowing your children to take time off for reasons other than illness could be classed as unauthorised absences and may result in a Fixed Penalty Notice or prosecution.

To report your child as ill, or arrange an authorised absence, contact your child's school as soon as possible.
