You may think that being a few minutes later for school each day, or having time off throughout the year won’t affect your child’s learning, but look at some statistics I found recently.                            They make interesting reading!

If your child misses…

That equals…

Which is…

And over 13 years of schooling, that’s…

1 day every 2 weeks

20 days per year

4 weeks per year

Nearly 1.5 years

1 day per week

40 days per year

8 weeks per year

Over 2.5 years

2 days per week

80 days per year

16 weeks per year

Over 5 years

10 mins per day (arriving late)

50 mins per week

Nearly 1.5 weeks per year

Nearly half a year

20 mins per day (arriving late)

1hr 40mins per week

Over 2.5 weeks per year

Nearly 1 year

                                                       That’s a lot of learning missed!                                                     Missing out on learning not only affects children’s progress, but knocks their self confidence, too.
