The law says that parents must ensure that their child regularly attends the school where he/she is registered.
Words and phrases in this sentence and keywords in the question have similar meanings.

According to this sentence, parents must ensure that their child attends the school where he/she is registered. In other words, children must go to school where they are registered. Therefore, the answer is True.
- 2 Answer: FALSE
Keywords in the Question
Similar words in the Passage
All arrivals after the register has closed are recorded as ‘unauthorised’ absences.
If your child arrives after the register has closed without a good reason, this will be recorded as an ‘unauthorised’ absence for that session.
Search for the phrase “unauthorised absences”, and we would find all the needed information in this sentence.
According to the sentence, arrivals after the register has closed without a good reason will be recorded as unauthorised absences. This means that if children have a good reason for their arrivals, there will not be any unauthorised absence recorded. However, the statement in Q2 indicates that all arrivals after the register has closed are recorded as ‘unauthorised’ absences. Therefore, the answer is False.

Similar words in the Passage
If your child is absent from school, you must send the school a letter to explain why.
If your child has to miss school, it is vital that you let the school know why, preferably on the first morning of absence. (Your child’s school will have an attendance policy explaining how this should be done.)

However, the statement in Q3 indicates that parents must send a letter to explain why their child is absent. Meanwhile, we could not find any information relating on how parents should explain for their child’s absence in the passage.

However, the statement in Q4 and the information from the passage is irrelevant. According to the question, staff, the school, will contact the parents when they think a child is having difficulties. Meanwhile, parents contacting the school when they think their child is having difficulties is what we get from the passage. There is not enough information to say that the statement in Q4 is true or not. Therefore, the answer is Not Given.

We cannot find any information relating to the statement in Q5. Neither “other authorities” nor “frequent unauthorised absences” are mentioned in the passage. Therefore, the answer is Not Given.

Is Your Child at School Today?
School Attendance Information for Parents/Carers Introduction
- Receiving a good full-time education will give your child the best possible start in life. Attending school regularly and punctually is essential if children are to make the most of the opportunities available to them. The law says that parents must ensure that their child regularly attends the school where he/she is registered.
What you can do to help
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time. This encourages habits of good timekeeping and lessens any possible classroom disruption. If your child arrives after the register has closed without a good reason, this will be recorded as an ‘unauthorised’ absence for that session.
- If your child has to miss school it is vital that you let the school know why, preferably on the first morning of absence. (Your child’s school will have an attendance policy explaining how this should be done.)
- If you know or think that your child is having difficulties attending school you should contact the school. It is better to do this sooner rather than later, as most problems can be dealt with very quickly.
Authorised and Unauthorised Absence
- If your child is absent and the school either does not receive an explanation from you, or considers the explanation unsatisfactory, it will record your child’s absence as ‘unauthorised’, that is, as truancy.
Most absences for acceptable reasons will be authorised by your child’s school:
- Sickness
- Unavoidable medical or dental appointments (if possible, arrange these for after school or during school holidays)
- An interview with a prospective employer or college
- Exceptional family circumstances, such as bereavement
- Days of religious observance.
Your child’s school will not authorise absence for the following reasons:
- Shopping during school hours
- Day trips
- Holidays which have not been agreed
- Birthdays
- Looking after brothers or sisters or ill relatives.
