West Blatchington Primary and Nursery School

In Brighton & Hove we aim to ensure that all pupils attend school all of the time and our commitment is to promote good school attendance. We know that good school attendance is a priority for all schools. Pupils who attend school are more likely to develop both academically and socially, improving their life chances. We also know that there is a direct link between poor attendance and poor attainment for a child and young person. Added to this, many issues related to non-attendance will highlight pupils with particular health, welfare or social needs.
