“An outstanding school providing an excellent quality of education and care for its students” Ofsted Attendance Why is it important?

What the student misses… FRIENDSHIPS missed out on CLUBS missed out on TRIP DEADLINES missed out on SPORTS TEAMS missed out on Y11 leaver’s dinner missed out on (attendance must be 95% or above) LEARNING IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EXAMS AND TESTS missed out on You may struggle to catch up on work which leads to poor achievement, poor grades and you missing out on a place at college/apprenticeship

Every 5% of school missed = one grade dropped at GCSE

Punctuality…. Being late in the morning and therefore to Period 1 affects attendance in that subject and therefore the 5% rule still applies. Year 11 team all trained in UCAS Progress and will be offering support with college applications etc. in form. If your child isn’t there they will miss out on that support. Each form also has a pack of college information for students to look through during registration. Form time gives your child stability and a person they see every day who can support them. Not attending form distances these supportive relationships. 12 or more lates (this includes being late to lesson) and students will not qualify for the leavers’ dinner.
