At De Lacy Academy, we believe that regular attendance is fundamental to every student’s success. Being in school every day ensures that students can fully engage with learning, build strong relationships with teachers and peers, and develop the routines, confidence, and resilience needed for future education and employment. Good attendance supports academic progress, wellbeing, and safeguarding, and helps us work closely with families to remove any barriers to learning. By attending school consistently, students give themselves the best possible chance to achieve their potential and thrive as valued members of our academy community.
