Is 95% attendance a realistic expectation?

The school will look at periods of absence as well as %. So if you've missed 10 consecutive days due to flu they will look at it differently to 10 x 1 days for different things.

Think that's more than 4 days off. Say 15 weeks so far (?), that's 75 days. Missing 15% of those 75 puts it at around 12 days missed. Over 2 weeks of school days.

To sum up, it is very normal for a school to expect 95%, and pretty easy for a student to make that target.

100% attendence bitchesssss

Seriously, what lessons are you missing to get 85% attendence. Our taxes are not being used on you so that you can act truant.

Fix up son.

i have a feeling uni is gonna be more in line with my philosophy in terms of attendance

85% is pretty good, mine was 43% haha

Wow, that's impressive Made me feel a bit less guilty

I currently have around 85% attendance and my school is calling a meeting with my parents to discuss why my attendance is so 'bad'. My school has a policy of 95% and they've said I'm not allowed any more days off this whole year (they can do one), otherwise they're threatening to refer me to my doctor because of my frequent illness. Can they actually do this? And out of interest, do you think 95% attendance is a realistic expectation of year 11 students?

Attendance doesn't matter as long as you still get the grades. My attendance at 6th form was around 50% (due to severe illness during my pregnancy and having a baby in the first week of my A2 year) I came out with A*A*A a*aaa and was the first person from that 6th form to get into Oxbridge.

85% attendance is pretty good in my opinion.

85% sounds pretty low, that's a day off most weeks. 95% sounds fair.

Mines 70-75%.

True, but jobs are chosen.

But both school and a job are obligations and it's actually very rare for you to find a job (certainly one that isn't a professional job) that you actually enjoy doing.

My attendance during my AS year was around 75%, which was pretty awful. Definitely been a lot better this year, but I think 95% would be near impossible. My aim for this year is around 90%

a-****ing-men.

if coming to college 70% of the time works for me in getting my A*A*A then leave me alone you *****.

they are jealous that's the problem. those that do go get proper ****ing jobs, those that can't teach or something like that

I have depression which was why. I just gave in notes and they had to be cool about it
