Attendance Report and Initiative

Dear Parent / Guardian,

Children and young people in communities across Ireland are missing a concerning number of school days each year due to casual non-attendance - a day (or two, or three) missed here and there. These days add up quickly. As a result of casual non-attendance there is a real risk that many of our children and young people will not achieve their full potential from education.

Adamstown Community College is embracing an Attendance Initiative from March 2026 onwards.

Please see the accompanying letter to all Parents / Guardians  here

We ask all our parents/ guardians to work with us and support our students in attending school in full.
