At Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form, we strongly believe that good attendance and punctuality are essential for our students’ education, helping to develop a positive working ethos in early life. Good attendance and punctuality are therefore essential for all students if they are to succeed academically and socially.

We attach great importance to our work on improving attendance across the school in line with Department for Education expectations. To this end, attendance is monitored very closely by our attendance team. The link between attendance and attainment in school is clear. The more students are in school the more they increase their opportunity to fulfil their potential.
