--- title: "Attendance Information" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2023-09-22-attendance-information" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Attendance Information ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/att.png) 22 September 2023 Attendance is a key priority for our school this term. We want to ensure that all children’s attendance percentages are in line or above national average of 97%. Children with an attendance of 97% above are more likely to be happier attending school, make better progress and eventually achieve better in formal exams. Please see below how even missing a few days of school can lead to many hours of learning missed. | Yearly Attendance | Days Missed | Hours Missed | |---|---|---| | 100% | 0 | 0 | | 97% | 6 | 30 | | 95% | 10 | 50 | | 90% | 20 | 100 | | 80% | 40 | 200 | | **Nursery** | **Year R** | **Year 1** | **Year 2** | |---|---|---|---| | AM | PM | Kerr | Rosen | Cole | Donaldson | Ahlberg | Butterworth | | 88.4% | 89.5% | 99.6% | 96.6% | 96.4% | 94.1% | 92.9% | 91.3% | | **Year 3** | **Year 4** | **Year 5** | **Year 6** | | Benjamin | King-Smith | Binch | Pullman | Hughes | Morpurgo | Horowitz | Lewis | | 94.8% | 92.3% | 94.7% | 89.3% | 97.1% | 95.8% | 84.4% | 95.6% | **Attendance for The Whole School Year Is Currently 92.8 %** [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/ar.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2023-09-15-attendance-raffle) Previous ### [Attendance Raffle](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2023-09-15-attendance-raffle) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/n.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2023-10-16-nursery-highlights) Next ### [Nursery Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2023-10-16-nursery-highlights) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
