At Hollingwood Primary School, we believe that every school day counts. Regular attendance is essential for our children to achieve their full potential, both academically and socially. When children attend school consistently, they benefit from structured learning, develop important life skills, and build lasting friendships.  Missing school can lead to gaps in learning, making it harder for children to keep up with their peers and achieve their goals. Whether it’s a core lesson, a fun activity, or a special event, every day provides an opportunity for growth and success.

We are committed to working closely with families to promote excellent attendance and to support any challenges that may arise. Together, we can ensure that every child feels motivated, supported, and ready to learn.  Let’s make every day count—for brighter futures and happy, confident learners!
