Attendance Matters!

Every day counts. Every lesson matters. Every opportunity begins with being in school.

Welcome to Attendance Matters!, Trinity Academy's short-form video podcast, dedicated to highlighting the importance of excellent school attendance and the impact it has on students' achievement, wellbeing and future opportunities.

Presented by Stefan Grabowski, Vice Principal, each episode shares key attendance messages, celebrates our successes and provides practical guidance to help parents and carers support their children in attending school every day.

At Trinity Academy, we have exceptionally high aspirations for every student. We know that regular attendance is one of the most important factors in securing excellent academic outcomes, developing positive habits and ensuring that every child leaves us with the widest possible range of opportunities.

Our ambition is for every student to achieve at least 98% attendance, and through Attendance Matters!, we aim to strengthen our partnership with families in achieving this.

Be here. Learn more. Achieve more.
