Good school attendance is of vital importance in order for children to be able to thrive and flourish in school.  Good school attendance is **96%** and above and our school policy is in line with government guidance to help us achieve this target for our children at Higher Walton.  If your child is struggling to come to school for any reason please do speak to us in school and we will do what we can to help and assist.
