Rhos Y Fedwen follows the Attendance Pathway approach to monitoring and raising attendance.

Why Attendance Matters at Rhos Y Fedwen Primary School

At Rhos Y Fedwen Primary School, we are committed to empowering learners to achieve and flourish together. Regular school attendance plays a vital role in making this vision a reality. When children attend school consistently, they benefit from a rich learning environment that supports their academic progress, personal development, and social well-being.

Poor attendance can limit a child’s opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with others. Missing school means missing out on key learning experiences, which can lead to gaps in understanding and lower achievement. It can also affect a child’s confidence and sense of belonging within the school community.

We believe every child has the right to a high-quality education, and we work in partnership with families and other agencies to promote excellent attendance. By attending school regularly, pupils are better equipped to reach their full potential and contribute positively to our shared journey of learning and flourishing.
