There are 190 school days every year which means your child has 175 days off every year. 

You have a legal duty to ensure the regular and full-time attendance at school of registered pupils (Education Act 1996).  

• Ensure that your child arrives at school on time each day at 8:45am.
• Let the school know if your child is going to be late, e.g., if a car breaks down, if an urgent appointment has been made.
• Book family holidays during school holiday time.
