Well done to Chile class who had the highest attendance in Y5&6 at 95.7% . N.Ireland had the highest attendance in LKS2 and overall at 97.2% and Egypt had the highest attendance in KS1 at 96.6%. Well done to them!. The overall attendance was disappointing at only 93.5%which is well below our target!
Have a good weekend
