Consistent school attendance is crucial for academic and social success. Pupils who attend regularly are more likely to achieve better grades, develop strong friendships, and participate fully in school life. If your child was unable to attend school for any reason, please email attendance@ljhs.co.uk with their name, form class, reason for absence, and dates. Our school target is 93% attendance, and our Form Teachers and Year Heads work closely with Mrs. Alexander to support pupils to meet or exceed this attendance target. After prolonged absences, Form Teachers or Year Heads may make pastoral calls to offer assistance to the pupil or family.

 

You may also receive an attendance letter if school believes that a pupil’s attendance has dropped significantly. Teachers at Lurgan Junior High School post work weekly to our main online educational platform, Google Classroom. If for any reason your child is off school, we would sign post parent/guardians to their child’s Google Classroom to get caught up on work missed, as and when they are able. Attendance at Lurgan Junior High School is rewarded on a termly basis. We are committed to every pupil's well-being and value their presence in school daily.
