Regular lateness can have a negative impact on learning which can be seen below.

Ensuring that children receive full-time education is a legal requirement for all parents. Getting your child to school regularly and on time will help them fulfil their potential. We want Coalbrookdale’s children to be happy and successful. Success at school and high achievement is closely linked to good attendance.  If you are unsure if you should send your child in to school the following NHS information might help.
