Presentation for Nursery & Reception New Starters 2025 

All parents want the best for their children. Having a good education is important to ensure that children have the best opportunities in their adult life. They only get one chance at school, and your child’s future may be affected by not attending school regularly.

Good habits must be formed right from the start of their school life.

We hope that you find the leaflet below helpful in explaining the benefits of good attendance.
