This week sees the launch of a two year school attendance campaign across Portsmouth. The new Miss School, Miss Out campaign aims to improve school attendance levels in the city by highlighting to pupils/parents and carers what pupils can achieve if they have good attendance and reach their full potential as well as illustrating how missing school can limit their future lives. For more information, please go to the Council's website: www.portsmouth.gov.uk/attendance<http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/attendance>
